We are the future.
The move will end centralised prescription of teaching methods and oversight of literacy and numeracy hours in primary schools.
What does that mean?
As far as I can see, this is an acknowledgement that the maladministrators who have methodically destroyed the British education system over the past thirty years are starting to wash their hands of the whole sorry business.
The anticipated savings of £100,000,000 in fees won’t have much effect – let’s face it, this government doesn’t even try to account for such paltry sums when it comes to their own profligate use of the content of the public purse.
Can we see a possibility that this ‘greater freedom of how to teach’ might lead to an improvement in the ways our children are educated? This is highly unlikely. The education establishment has done so much damage to the teaching profession by constant meddling and missguided social engineering that teachers now spend more time being social workers than they do being teachers. They have to be constantly aware of the need not to create offence, not to be alone with a child, not to create competition in class, not to allow one child to appear to be better than another and, above all else, not to seek to teach excellence!
The education system teaches our children that everybody is equal. It teaches them that nobody can fail a test or score significantly higher marks than anybody else. It fails to teach them that life is competitive. It teaches them that knowledge is only good for passing the next set of tests and that once that set of tests has been completed it can be forgotten. It teaches them that the world is full of easy options.
Worst of all, our education system teaches our teachers that no matter how poorly they perform, no matter how badly they fail their pupils, no matter how little they improve their own skills, they will keep seeing reports about how much better they are performing every year. The government is so set in its ways that the day is coming when a school education certificate will simply indicate that a child did attend school, that it did attend classes and that it no longer attends school.
The days of 100% passes at A++ will soon be with us and our children will enter the post-school world wondering what has hit them!
They say ignorance is bliss. Our education system is preparing our children for a blissful existence.
