We do recognise the need to move towards the publication of information showing the progress made by pupils from one stage of their education to another. |
My Department has already recognised this and has been working specifically on the technical support issue since January and will offer advice to schools during the Autumn term. |
There is a shortage of teachers but the January 2001 schools census showed that teacher numbers were at their highest level than at any time since 1984 - and 11,000 higher than 1997. |
I was head of the Sixth Form Centre when I left the school. |
If you invent the Mini Cooper, pour all your energy and passion into it and it gets made, you should be on a roll. In the film industry you have to start again the next day. |
I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months. |
I think film is a very powerful advocate and message carrier. |
However, the Government has made it clear that we do not encourage the recruitment of teachers from developing nations where there may be an adverse effect on the economy. |
