EDUCATION EDUCATION EDUCATION

When New Labour came into office in 1997, its commitment to "Education, education, education" captured the imagination of the public.

This collection of articles from 1998 to 2003 presents the real state of education during this period, when educational policy has never been far from the headlines. No one escapes Ted's sharp-shooting wit: from the "blamers and shamers" who try to turn teacher-bashing into a national pastime to the "pale policy wonks" in the Department of Education, who issue regular hare-brained initiatives from the mysterious "Tony Zoffis". This collection willl be a tonic for anyone finding themselves unsure whether to laugh or cry about developments in the world of education.
