Equity in schools
published: Wednesday | August 27, 2003

THE EDITOR, Sir:

IT IS evident that the public has joined the debate on 'equity in schools'. This was one of my stated intentions in raising the subject at the Gleaner Editor's Forum.

I would, however, like to assure The Gleaner letter writer of 20/8/03 that contrary to the conclusion in his letter, I have not yet put forward any proposal about dispersing high performance students throughout the schools. Indeed, his concerns about 'levelling' was mentioned by me in putting the pros and cons of finding an acceptable approach.

I am happy that the public has weighed in on this issue and anticipate a vigorous debate.

I am, etc.,

MAXINE
