Could this news story [Click here!] be the saviour for education in the UK?
Michael Gove, controversial Serectary of State for Education, has been told by the Information Commisioner Christopher Graham to disclose some private emails (under the cringe-worthy name of "Mrs Blurt") involving government business. This doesn't sound too major a deal initially, but the reason Gove used a private email is because he didn't want the subject matter to be available to Freedom of Information requests. More interested? I certainly am as the subject matter is likely to be education-based. The arrogance of the man to believe that he could dive under the radar is not a huge surprise.
With his aggressive stance towards educators in general and his insistence upon bludgeoning through any policy he believes to be a good idea without any apparent thought for the consequences, I rather hope that Gove has discussed something that he really shouldn't have, and is currently drafting his resignation.
One can but hope!
