As part of the improvement processes there are numerous developmental programmes for lecturers, campus managers and staff. The one neglected area is the development of the Education Specialist. The Education Specialist is at the coal face of academic delivering, as well as the first level management. With the development of Education Specialist leadership skills, as well as involvement in corporate planning, there will be a substantial improvement in student performance.
