Accountability deficit in education sector

Published:Saturday | September 10, 2011 | 12:00 AM

Guest columnist Robert Wynter hits out at the mollycoddling of underperformers in the education sector.

"Rather than appearing to defend 'non-performing schools', the JTA must use its immense influence to correct non-performance in the education system. While it is understandable that inadequate resources negatively impact on school performance, principals must be held accountable for whatever level of resources they have at their disposal."
