My youngest daughter was let down by the education system in this country specifically from a series of initiatives introduced by different governments (eg Literacy hour then numeracy hour that was only 45 minutes long!!!) and I do not want to see my grandchildren's education being affected in the same way.

Dear Guest,

Your view is one often expressed. Maybe it isn't obvious how damaging it can be to a young person to be subjected to a system in constant flux. That is, until a family member or friend is affected by the short-term changes that are an inevitable consequence of the present system of education governance. It will not be an easy task to raise awareness of the exact nature of the problem in the general population but, it has to happen.

Thank you for your support. Please spread the word.

John
