Lessons school heads must be taught first


IT APPEARS that some schools are obstinate about making students buy more workbooks than the number prescribed by the Education Ministry. So much so that they are willing to resort to deception.

Parents have complained of schools bundling together two or three workbooks and selling them as a single item. This practice sidesteps the rule that for certain core subjects for Years Four to Six, students should not be required to buy more than one workbook per subject.
