Education minister Michael Gove is still with us!!

With the United Kingdom falling foul of Murdochmania, the education minister Michael Gove is still trundling along. I suppose his reforms might work but they could take a long time to make the normal, bog-standard comprehensive any different. The move to
academy status and giving head teachers more independence might help but there are not enough inspirational head teachers to go round.

In an interesting article former Education minister Estelle Morris says there is no
big picture strategy just quite a few minor changes based on a narrow political focus.
