On the negative side, exit examinations may lead to a tendency to concentrate on learning facts, rather than understanding contexts.”

Efficient IT deployment strategies drawn from the private sector are being applied within the school sector. These IT deployment approaches tend to be based upon centralised and standardised management models where the amount and nature of the software is limited and controlled. At the same …
