The least we owe young people and teachers is a decent environment in which to work. With a so-called healthy economy, it is a disgrace children are being taught in classrooms in which one could not swing a cat. There is no space for art. We have made much play of ICT, information and communication technology in schools, but some classrooms do not even have space for a computer. Even in those which do have a computer, it is a distraction to children because there is not a corner in which to put it. These are serious issues.
