I think one of the problems, for me, is that the government doesnt prioritise education as much as they used to, or they probably should. It is not just about funding, i think, that Gillian Keegan is the tenth Education Secretary in 13 year, now, you need consistency to do a good job, we all know that, from working, you know, if you keep chopping and changing who is in charge, yeah, thing, the ball gets dropped or different priorities come along and i think that is part of the problem, that you know, when all these reshuffles happen, the best calibre people go into the big jobs and education isnt seen as a big job so it isjust a education isnt seen as a big job so it is just a revolving door of people, and that is my analysis of it in part.
