Jobs on merit
02.06.2008 23:30

OF ALL places where a meritocracy should operate, the education system is a prime example. Young people are sent there to study and to acquire a set of values that will prepare them for life. And yet the management system in our secondary schools is deeply flawed, with internal promotions based on length of service rather than on merit. Not only does such a system deliver poor quality management, it sends a deeply negative signal to ambitious pupils.
