Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

I have a very brief comment on Clause 82(1)(a), under which the head teacher must determine measures to be taken with a view to, "““promoting, among pupils, self-discipline””," and so on. It is worth considering whether that might better say, "““promoting, among pupils, a shared commitment to self-discipline””." It matters a lot to me that there is a policy of self-discipline that is shared and owned by every member of the school, whether they are teachers or pupils.
