Mrs Tolley learns about being Minister of Education (or does she?)

Posted by: Winged Avenger on 03, Aug, 2010

Was Mrs Tolley starting to learn something about her portfolio?

For a moment it appeared that someone was listening... 
PLD is highly valued by teachers and principals – and rightly so.  Suddenly it's appeared on the government's list of things to do.  Are they really listening?  Is Mrs Tolley learning?

Nope.

Once again the government is adopting a once over lightly approach that smells strongly of tokenism.  

 

MOE doesn’t have the staffing to offer this service?  That’s not surprising given its regional focus on property and finance.  Schools are businesses; principals are CEOs.  Now, get on with it: sell your brand and balance your books.
