If you went back to 1997 we didn't really have computers in schools, we weren't using IT properly
There are times when a minister says something so maddening, so death-defyingly stupid, that I am glad not to be in the same room in case I should reach out, grab his tie, and end what is left of my political career with one almighty head-butt ... Such were my feelings on reading Mr Ed Balls on the subj...
I think children are very affected by what happens to them growing up. I think it was an evil act, but I'm not willing to say the children were intrinsically evil and nothing can be done to give them a second chance.
What is missing is any suggestion of additional money. Since it would be politically impossible to cut the budgets of some schools to shift money to others, what Ed Balls is talking about is political posturing, not serious policy.
I think we have to be very careful about labelling any child as intrinsically evil. Children are very affected by what happens to them as they are growing up
I will meet the authority to hear its proposals before having discussions with the Secretary of State, Ed Balls, on any further action that needs to be taken, including intervention
I thought it was ill advised, not just for Mrs Bulger but for many people, the scars of what was done to James Bulger are very deep.
There are already safeguards in place and this has just been about Ed Balls trying to score points
within the post-1945 welfare state
Charlie’s getting people into place to support Ed Balls’s leadership bid.
Schools bursars make a real difference, helping primary schools save up to £30,000 a year in some cases. They help heads save money and allow them to maintain the record numbers of teachers and teaching assistants in classrooms across the country.
if someone is waving a certificate signed by Ed Balls, it makes you lower your guard, and not actually use your instinct or adult understanding to assess them
We have already reformed the Ofsted inspections system so that weaker schools are inspected more often and high- performing schools less often. But it would be wrong to say that some schools, even those which are currently doing well, should as a matter of principle never be inspected again.
Ed Balls is seriously looking into banning National Front Members as well as members of other nationalist parties from being teachers
Having these two great buildings will send a message to the community, raise aspirations where they have been low. The signal that we are willing to spend all these millions of pounds to build these buildings, it is a real signal of our intent, of the worth of the community and the importance we attach ...
Discipline, authority: hoorah. Human rights act, health and safety, thugs and Ed Balls: boo hiss!
In terms of the lessons we’ve learned, it is very important to step in earlier.
I am astonished by the litany of failure outlined in the Ofsted report. I have had three urgent meeting with Ed Balls, the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, in the last two days to discuss what action the Government intends to take in light of the report.
The reason I was coming up was to thank you Mike and your team on the really important and difficult job you have been doing in Carlisle over the last year in the two academies.

And if your local schools are not doing well enough, and if you are dissatisfied with the progress your local school is making, you will be able to demand change and get a new and quality-guaranteed provider
New providers can help turn around long-term failing schools, but do we really want Ed Balls to be handpicking all 500 of them?
It was a really ambitious target - it was 50 per cent fall. I think it was right to set an ambitious target and it is going to be really hard to make that amount of fall.
