ABSTRACT

In this short concluding chapter we deal with questions asked by teachers at the various seminars, workshops and presentations that we have given in the last few years, in various parts of East Asia. We also end, by way of a positive endorsement of the ideas developed throughout the book, with a short account of a school which was on the point of closure, but which by making use of the opportunities provided by smaller classes, creating a curriculum designed to enhance pupils’ active participation and fostering teachers’ professional development, turned things around in a spectacular manner.
