Many of these programmes require school leaders to focus their schools on specific targets or problems and provide specific resources in return. Accounting for the correct use of these resources, however, means that the programmes carry a heavy administrative burden. Some witnesses have expressed to the Steering Croup their doubts about the usefulness of the courses, and described the courses in the Escalafdn and Carrera Magisterial as a way to get points but with little relevance to practice. In addition, most of the courses focus on teaching and pedagogy; until recently few have focused on school leadership and management.
