So Gordon’s in post at long last, and we are all wondering what he is going to do to for education. So far, his grand contribution is to rename the DFES to DCSF. If everything he does is that inspired, we are in for reasonably quiet time.
In fact, as I posted in January, we do have evidence that Gordon is singularly uninspired when it comes to education. Much as I would love to see some of our structural problems addressed, I can’t help thinking that most teachers will welcome any lessening of the initiative overload.
