Limitations of key teacher programme

Each single teaching programme has its advantages and disadvantages, primary care giving programme no exception. In practice, the key children generally show strong attachment to his/her key teacher and refuse comfort from other teachers. Another limitation of key teacher system is the parents unable to obtain information about their children if the key teacher is absent.

To overcome the natural faults of the primary care giving program, the key teacher needs to encourage the children's social interactions to establish good relationships with other teachers. The children will discover pleasure of being with others. Good communication between the teachers is essential for sharing information within the team. By this way, the parents will get information about their children when the key teacher is not available.
