'LUNACY' Michael Gove RAGES over institutional SKIVING

The head of a prominent teachers' union asserts that the existing school assessment systems overwhelm and demoralize school leaders.

The union argues that this sustained pressure is not conducive to ensuring children receive a first-rate education, as it distracts from core educational goals.

Ofsted exists primarily to provide accountability for the education provided by schools, not for the comfort of unions or teachers.

Parents, who are also taxpayers, have a legitimate right to transparent information regarding their children's schools' performance and the allocation of significant public funds.

School inspections are frequently seen as 'fake scenarios,' with students and staff often prepped, leading to an inaccurate portrayal of daily school life.

The panel advocates for spontaneous, no-notice inspections, drawing parallels to health inspector visits, to ensure a more realistic assessment.

Michael Gove disclosed his prior attempt to implement no-notice inspections during his tenure in government, but faced resistance from the Liberal Democrats.

Many primary school students arrive without fundamental life skills such as toilet training, further extending the responsibilities of educators beyond academics.

This often forces teachers into caregiver roles, diverting their focus from purely educational tasks.

Eighty local authorities in the UK have implemented a program utilizing robots for students experiencing emotionally based school avoidance.

These robots enable children to participate in classes remotely via an app on their personal devices, allowing them to remain at home.

Currently, 2,000 such units are operational across the country, each costing over 3,000 pounds.

Gove vehemently dismissed the practice as a form of truancy that should not be encouraged, stating children should be physically present in school.
