I have to say I am so pleased that three of my grandchildren are being educated in Wales and won’t get caught up in England’s shake up of their education system. I feel they are going backwards introducing the Baccalaureate. From an ex teacher and ex Principal Examiner (guess who) as he says, they don’t understand the present system so good luck with a new one! I guess it will only be known as EBacc as half the kids won’t be able to spell the full title!
A quote from the Guardian…
“Despite Gove’s declaration on entering government that he would liberate teachers, there has been no prior consultation with the teaching profession. The consultation is the result of the iron agreement between the two coalition parties rather than any meaningful input from teachers, academics, parents and indeed the young people who will take them. In no other profession would such a significant reform be imposed in such a way.”

At least the temperature has dropped a little and so it was much nicer for gardening. We also had a walk along the coast.
