I, like Ken, am trying to change the philosophy of approach at Northumbria
to move away from this idea of particular students needing 'remedial' help
to one where the university recognises that all students (particularly in a
mass education system) can benefit from learning development - and that the
university has an obligation to recognise this and provide for it. I think
that this would make an excellent conference theme as it encompasses issues
of the nature of our work, the aims of our work and our professional status
within the institution.
