It is the practice of this journal to reflect not only national concerns but those of our overseas colleagues. Here Barbara Bailey and Winnifred Hall examine the situation in the West Indies, searching for solutions to their particular circumstances. Their ‘curriculum design proposal’ advocates a large essential learning component, which would run counter to curriculum directions in Britain. Interestingly, though, on the vexed issue of terms, they seem to be abandoning the use of ‘learning disability’ in favour of ‘learner in difficulty’.
