Abstract

The White Paper on Education promises a range of significant changes in the governance of schools - not the least of them being the increased opportunity for parents to effectively democratise the system. The role and responsibility of teachers comes under scrutiny. Teachers are recognised as carrying the main responsibility for identifying and responding to learning difficulties. This, however, implies that proper resourcing is in place to empower them.
