However, the 2016 Law that creates the System for Teacher Professional Development requires school principals: to define professional development plans for their teaching bodies on the basis of information provided by school self-evaluation and teacher evaluation; and to create teacher professional development plans in the context of school development plans. First, the current practice of linking monthly school grants to actual school attendance imposes an undue financial burden on school providers. It would be important to replace this mechanism with one based on school enrolment at the start of the year, with an adjustment (possibly mid-way through the year) to reflect drop-outs and transfers between schools.
