"No Child Left Behind" - what can we learn?


This is a link to the National Radio programme from September 27. Nine to Noon where the USA correspondent Luiza Savage reports on the outcomes of the "No Child Left Behind" initiative that (the then ) President George Bush put in place, now 10 year later.

This initiative was an attempt to target the under achievement of a large section of American students. It was based on the concept of developing a set of National Satandards to test children, gather school information........

..all sounds familiar to us here in NZ.

Now President Obama has declared the programme to have had no significant impact on student achievement and so will be disbanded
