‘Calm down and get back to the basics’

In spite of the continuing culture of academic under achievement, many schools are still caught up or entangled in a state of inertia.

Year in and year out, fresh commitments are made and resources are allocated to redeem the ailing education system but, alas, there is still no return on investment. Change cannot possibly come when schools are too eager to repeat flawed and ineffective approaches. They say a season of insanity begins when one does the same thing repeatedly while expecting to achieve different outcomes. The need for a sober introspection of the present strategies cannot be over emphasised.
