Hello, I'm the Secretary of State for Education. I'm not sure why I've got this job but, hey, it'll do for the time being. As I was privately educated I know all about education. As I have a degree in how to be a bureaucrat and/or a policy wonk, I can tell other people what to do even though I know nothing about it. My predecessor was very abrasive so our people told him that he was a toxic and he's gone off to muck things up elsewhere.
I'm nice. So I'm going to say things in a nice way. I don't have to listen to anyone except my bosses. I don't have to listen to teachers, researchers, parents, students or children. I can just sound off. So long as I do it nicely. Here's me talking about something that I know absolutely nothing about. Enjoy.
