Comments from members on the issues raised, the activities envisaged and other matters are encouraged. They will be collated and circulated to members from time to time. Most countries recognize the need to improve the performance of their education system. Work with that aim is widespread, using a variety of approaches. All these groups except the last have organizations through which they can work together as a community, to raise standards and to make their voice heard.
Standards vary greatly.
Often, for example, the teachers involved in trialing are enthusiastic volunteers, whereas the project purports to serve typical teachers. Further these teachers are given a lot of support which will not, in reality, be available to those for whom the products are intended. Often, for example, the developers of learning materials assume that there will be substantial support for teacher professional development, which is not forthcoming in practice. The list continues. The development and refinement of this list is one of the goals of the Society.
