Views on quality school education invited
Members of the public are reminded to send their views on quality school education to the Education Commission before the consultation period ends on January 15 (Wednesday).
Quality school education is the theme of the Education Commission Report No 7 Consultation Document which was published last November for a two-month public consultation.
A spokesman for the Education Commission said today (Friday): "We are pleased with the initial response to the consultation document. From the views collected, it can be seen that the main thrust of the recommendations is generally supported by the community."
The spokesman pointed out that around 20 consultation and discussion sessions had been arranged so far for Legislative Councillors, principals, teaching professionals, educational bodies, school councils and sponsors, advisory boards and committees, parents, the business community and district boards to gauge their views. Around 60,000 copies of the consultation document have been distributed.
