Education

An announcement today promising an overhauled education system. Interesting in theory but in practice?

Education since I was going through the system seems to have become highly over regulated, almost as if all of the learning has been replaced by targets and league tables. Maybe that's a good thing I really don't know - but the old adage of the act of measuring something affects it's value. I'm sure it's very hard to measure something intangible like a good education - but it looks like we try to.

I just hope this isn't a hot air announcement, I'm still getting over the promise of an integrated transport network in the UK within 15 years, announced 10 years ago - still 5 years to deliver.
