| Abstract | Ted Wragg talks to Estelle Morris, former Secretary of State for Education and Skills, about her life as a teacher and as a politician. She states I did know how the classroom worked. And I hope that I had an ability to look at a policy that might be in development and actually say come on it doesn't quite work like that in schools . So, bringing the mechanisms of policy and vision together with practicalities was something only I could do because only I'd had that experience. She reveals what she thinks were her inadequacies as a teacher and how this led her to believe in literacy and numeracy hours and admits that failing her A-levels had a profound effect on her It stayed with me throughout my life and if I lacked confidence at all, it's partly down to [that].When discussing her resignation from her position as Secretary of State, she says, I was right to leave, but I was sad to go. |
