We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another.

I do recognise that, where recruitment difficulties persist, teachers can be put under great pressure.

At different times I taught humanities, social sciences and pre-vocational education.

However, the Government has made it clear that we do not encourage the recruitment of teachers from developing nations where there may be an adverse effect on the economy.

OFSTED has made large cuts in the paperwork which schools are asked to provide and further steps to reduce the bureaucratic burden will be introduced in September.

I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months.
