Govt Minister For 'Education' Gets Rough Ride At Conference

Jim Knight (I had to check his name, since they're all faceless, characterless clones these days), an 'education' minister, got a bit of a rough ride at a teachers' and lecturers' conference this week for suggesting large class sizes could be manageable (with a bit of help from undertrained, underpaid teaching assistants - as opposed to more teachers).

Despite Tony Blair's ancient declaration about education, the word no longer appears in the title of the appropriate government department. These days it's the Department for
Children, Schools and Families.
