I thought I would set the cat amongst the pigeons. If she is half as good as Michael Gove she will be a resounding success.  |

Luckily I don’t know anything about her, but bearing in mind that she’s a politician I can’t imagine that she’ll have any knowledge of, nor interest in, the work done by teachers.
When the exam results come out, there are two scenarios:
1. The results are an improvement on the previous year; in this case she’ll say the exams were too easy.
2. The results are not an improvement on the previous year; in this case she’ll say that the teachers are not working hard enough.
She will then disappear for 51 weeks and then the above will repeat itself.
Let’s face it, most of the electorate are not interested in education; they pride themselves in their ignorance: “X isn’t my strongpoint!” “Oh I was useless at Y in school!”. Plus they are distrustful of the teaching profession, have no idea of what it is like to try to control 30+ kids and impart knowledge at the same time, and they think that teachers are lazy (too many holidays) and overpaid.
So most will not care who the Education Secretary is.
