| The new face of Welsh Education - and more pupil attaintment disasters to come. |
Mr. Lewis has recently commented he "wont be ushering in any drastic changes."
That's a real pity, because drastic changes, of course, are precisely what a bottom-of-pile education system needs in Wales.
He is, however, clever enough to realise that the imminent PISA results for Wales aren't going to be good. He 'predicts' this, but anyone with half an interest in education within Wales (that is, most of the education system), will know it's damned obvious it's not going to cut it, come autumn.
It's a great pity that, rather than spending his time telling Wales Online what he's actually going to do, he immediately launches into the tired-old tit-for-tat politics that has come to characterise relations between a Welsh Labour Government and that laughing its head off at us in Westminster.
Huw Lewis should stop playing party politics and get back to Leighton Andrews' mission to make a difference. It's a real shame we sack people who hold up a placard, whilst sticking-in insipid politicians with little evident idea of how to shake up the education system.
Mark so far, Mr. Lewis? 1 out of 10 seems generous.
