Allocating Resources for Learning Support: A Case Study.
Sharp, Stephen
Educational Management & Administration, v28 n2 p211-21 Apr 2000
Examines how learning-support resources are allocated to Scottish secondary schools, drawing on data from an Edinburgh education authority. Although a rationale for allocating resources based on socioeconomic indices can be constructed, basing decisions on a combination of standardized attainment tests and special-needs audits is preferable. (Contains 13 references.) (MLH)
