Frank and Stan Chats

Frank and Stan Chat No. 192


Listen Later

This week Stan returns from his two week break and we are joined by Education Director, author, keynote speaker and great guest Paul Ainsworth. Paul's most recent publication 'No Silver Bullets' draws on his considerable and varied career involved in school improvement. True to his character he doesn't plug any of his books, although Stan and Frank do. The chat begins with Stan 'reflecting' on hotel mirrors before Paul explains how optimistic he is that so many senior Opposition leaders were educated at comprehensive schools. He feels this will ensure the majority will not be forgotten as education policy changes with a possible new government. He then reflects on his disappointment that an iconic Joy Division song has been chosen for an important video when there were possibly some better choices. Frank ends the chat by discussing how inspection should not be used as a crystal ball. It was fun to take part and we hope you enjoy some of the light hearted moments as well as those that perhaps make you ponder on leadership and education policy.
