Lea as a concept has come a long way over recent years, although it was certainly popular during the industrial revolution in the 18th Century. It today has become a much more vague general expression, to describe anything from local community initiatives through to education. But what exactly is lea in education?
Lea is a shortened form of local education: Originally referring to the activities undertaken by the boards of education, or local authorities, in education. The word has developed to cover any educational activity carried out by anyone acting on behalf of a school, college or university. The idea behind the term was that by devoting some time and resources to the academic achievements of students from a young age, they would then be able to take part in the wider society. This led to local authorities undertaking activities aimed at academic achievement, and corrective actions taken against students who did not keep up with lessons or were absent from lessons.
There are many examples of local education activities: That have been incorporated into the teaching process since the 1800s. These activities have all come a long way from the first efforts by local education agencies in the Middle Ages. For example, one activity incorporated in the curriculum lay down the principles of equity, which was a key factor in modern school improvement. Equity is about ensuring that all pupils have access to equal opportunities in education, with no individual student getting an unfair advantage over another for any reason.
Another example is: That the schools had to publish a year-end report on student academic achievement and performance, which were an important element of school improvement. They also had to submit reports on a set of issues concerning the previous year and prepare a corrective action plan. A corrective action plan was a document that outlined what actions the school was going to take to ensure that all parts of the students’ curriculum were taught as required. The corrective action plan was then reviewed periodically by the local education agencies. If any part of the plan was not adhered to, then the school faced a penalty.
Lea in education also incorporated: The principle of time attendance in education. This is to ensure that students were at school and ready when it was their turn to go to class. Students who used to miss class were now being encouraged to return to school regularly, or at a very early hour. This principle has been integrated into most modern schools and has greatly improved student retention rates.
Lea in education was designed to improve: The efficiency and effectiveness of the school system, ensuring that children reached their maximum learning potential. It is a basic concept in most progressive educational systems of the world and is a fundamental part of learning.
Parents and teachers can discuss and agree on what is led in education when teaching their child.
