Levelling the education ‘playing field’

A just society is inclusive. Years ago, the late Prof John Spence, who established T&T’s Education Discussion Group, of which I was Chair for a number of years, said: “If indeed education is better in denominational schools, then we must ensure that government schools are brought up to the best level.”

It is no use telling parents that they are the ones to blame for placing “stress” on the shoulders of their children writing the SEA exam, when they know that there is no level playing field in our education system.

How is data in the education system in T&T used to ensure that behaviour and exclusion practices do not discriminate against students from certain ethnic communities, socio-economic backgrounds, or geographical areas?

I am in London at the moment and am involved in discussions relating to recommendations made in a review of school exclusion practice in England.

Have we lost our educational compass?

Post author By Web administrator

From a Catholic perspective, T&T is not promoting authentic integral human development of our children, that is, the development of the young person in all his/her dimensions and of every young person.

As a former Deputy Director of Education/Head of Quality Assurance in a London borough, my observation is that if we are committed to excellence in teaching and learning, then our education system needs to be restructured. Let’s ensure that it is inclusive and catering for diverse learning needs so that our children can realise their potential and function effectively in our knowledge-based society/world. Restructuring must include effective strategies to promote parental/community involvement.
