'The dwellings are very spread out and the villagers are largely self-sufficient by working their land. It is an extremely fertile area and the fruit and vegetables were practically shooting up before my eyes, especially mango, pawpaw and loofah trees.

Early years practitioners have warned the Government that its plans to enhance the role of classroom assistants must not be a cheap way of alleviating teacher shortages and should be accompanied by a proper salary and career structure. Last week education and skills secretary Estelle Morris called for a greater role for teaching assistants so that teachers can spend more time planning lessons. She said she wanted to see in Britain's classrooms 'a mix of staff fulfilling complementary roles - qualified teachers alongside trained classroom assistants, learning mentors and technicians'.
