At a time of continuing concerns about serious teacher shortages, ministers hope they will stop disillusioned and burnt out teachers !uitting the profession early. ..."..1........ They are likely to lead to action in areas where the worst shortages have led to increased workloads. The proposals are part of a #$%m package of measures to raise teaching standards through better professional development. Teachers will get more help early in their second or third year as part of a more clearly defined career ladder. The proposals were recommended to the education secretary, &avid Blunkett, by the 'eneral Teaching (ouncil. ". "..6"".. )owever, the government has decided to limit them initially to those working in challenging schools, particularly in inner-city areas. *abbaticals are an opportunity to gain pedagogic, leadership or management inspiration and should have a direct impact on return.

,ebuildi g the 4olosseum

The (olosseum is like 5ome itself. After all these centuries, it never runs out of surprises. +ne of the latest turned up on a second-tier corridor only a few weeks ago3 an amateurish but detailed drawing scratched into the wall. ,xperts say the graffitist was probably a fight fan passing the wait between bouts, 4,6// or more years ago. As trivial as the discovery may sound, its pure treasure to 5oselle 5ea. *hes the chief archaeologist for an eight-year, 47million-dollar pro8ect currently underway at the mightiest of 5omes ancient monuments. 2hen the overhaul is finished in %//9, visitors will be able to explore parts of the :lavian Amphitheater ;the buildings proper name< that have been out of public view for centuries = and a few that were off-limits even in the days of the emperors. The place was falling apart. The whole outer wall = whats left of it = was at risk, according to the pro8ects chief architect. The restorers had to mend a widening fissure that extended nearly the entire height of the north face. The foundation needed stabili>ing, and some of the exterior arches had to be shored up with supplementary arches. )uge blocks of marble and ancient concrete were coaxed back into alignment, millimetre by millimetre. *ince the completion of that phase last year, workers have begun scouring away centuries of soot from the outer walls to expose the monuments original golden tinge. Big changes are continuing inside. 1ntil the pro8ect began, only 4? percent of the (olosseum was open to the public. 0ow visitors can tour some 9? percent. Two years from now, when the scheduled renovations are complete, 7? percent will be accessible, including underground sections where animals were caged and gladiators prepared for battle. The topmost tier will be open again, too, giving tourists a panoramic view of the city for the first time in almost 4,?// years. At present the 5oman landmark still has room for improvement. @ou can stand in line two hours or more, without a trace of shade, 8ust waiting to get in. :or people too old or infirm to climb the treacherously steep main stairway, an elevator has been installed = but good luck finding it. The refreshment stands are overpriced, and the restrooms are inade!uate. And always watch your wallet3 despite the best efforts of police to keep a close eye on the place, a day never passes without at least one purse snatched or a pocket picked. +n bad days as many as A/ such petty crimes are reported. :ar bigger problems may be on the way. The (olosseum remains first on the city superintendent of archaeologys list of 5omes most endangered monuments. Bt was built over an underground stream whose waters have undermined it ever since. +ver the centuries the building has survived three ma8or earth!uakes, a disastrous fire and the fall of 5ome. -edieval 5omans used it as a garbage dump and as a !uarry for the builders of *t. Ceters Basilica and other churches. Today the amphitheatre marks one of the busiest intersections in the city, and a subway roars a few meters outside. The abuse adds up. ,xperts warn, some walls will need to be totally rebuilt within 4/ years. *ome forms of wear and tear can only get worse. Dast year some %.? million people toured the (olosseum, and the renovation is sure to attract even more. ,very footstep wears away a little more of its marble floors and stairways. But thats one problem that doesnt give experts any !ualms. Eeeping an old monument closed to visitors is like locking a vintage car in a museum. Bt may be nice to look at, but if you try to start the engine, it wont work. Tourists are good for the (olosseum. They help keep it in working order.
