Description
Education policy in the UK can feel like a revolving door, with frequent changes and a lack of continuity. This is partly due to the short-term nature of political cycles, which means that ministers come and go, often with new priorities and projects. As a result, teachers and leaders may become demoralised and cynical about the role of politicians.
This book brings together the views of serving school and college leaders, policy-makers, and former education secretaries. It asks them what they would do if they were in charge, and what they would do differently. The result is a fascinating glimpse into education policy as it is now, and a template for how it could become more coherent in the future.
With 135 pages of insightful commentary, 'If I Were Education Secretary...' provides a unique perspective on the challenges facing the UK's education system. It offers a thought-provoking exploration of what could be done to improve education policy and move the country towards a genuinely world-class education system.
