Gove will seemingly have a greater role in policy and media.........that's a Labour victory at the next election then :lolol:

There's going to be a lot of very happy teachers today.

I text my teacher friend with the congratulations and she just rang me excitedly to say nobody had heard - my text broke the news and there is now an actual party going on in the staffroom.

They think Tory policy is going to change then?

Very good news for education.

Unfortunately, it seems that Iain Duncan Smith remains in post as Work and Pensions secretary, which means that the assault on benefit claimants, disabled people, the unemployed and those in work on low incomes will continue for the time being.

The man's a menace, and an electoral liability. If he's genuinely being given more of a media role as polling day approaches, you have to wonder whether Cameron has any perception of what normal people think, or want.

Gove is a typical public school boy and teachers hated that his way is the best way attitude. A new person might deliver the same news differently. All smoke and mirrors at the end of the day.

His replacement is Nicky Morgan. She voted very strongly for greater autonomy for schools, raising uni fees to £9k, academy schools and ending financial support for some 16-19 year olds in training/further education. Oh, and voted against same sex marriage.

Delighted that Gove can't do any more damage to the education system but not sure she'll be much better

He'll be an excellent Chief Whip. I mean this is the man who clearly stated that there would be no public enquiry over the current child abuse allegations, absolutely perfect for the job.

Does this mean the teachers won?

Mr Gove

The idea of free schools and academies seems to be a mistake. Financial control is handed over to the school, its Head and governors. Already there have been too many cases of mismanagement of these schools. And while I am a Liberal Democrat I still see it as the taxpayers money and there must be greater local authority supervision of schools. Both financially and what is taught. Mr Gove has supported both free schools and academies.
