Michael Gove on the radio this morning. What an ego. The interview littered with lines prefaced with “in my judgement” with little to justify his pronouncements in terms of research, notions of best practice or breath of experience. What is this man’s background?
What justification is there for ex service officers receiving free teacher training? I suppose Gove thinks by playing the patriotic card and sending military team leaders into under performing schools the Tories will mop up the Daily Mail readers of Wooton Basset.
So the best schools, presumably designated by Ofsted inspections will become the centres of teacher training on the job, regardless of Ofsted themselves claiming that the existing system within HE is best in delivering a desirable balance between theory and practice. When this was questioned, the only response he could give was again prefaced with “in my judgement”.
This man is dangerous. He seems to think he is some kind of intellectual but his thinking is based on a patchwork of neo- conservative ideology and what could only be described as the outcome of some sort of personal trauma
