Back-Street Inspections
Education Reform, In The News, Ofsted Friday, March 28th, 2008Recent lighter-touch inspection regimes have been welcomed by some but we believe such a welcome would have been less warm if the true impact had been known. For it appears that Ofsted inspections have been replaced with institution-led inspections.
Whereas in the past we may have expected observations to be in-house and free of inspection jargon and tick-boxes, it is now the duty of educational institutions to carry out the Government surveillance dirty work for them. Same system, same grades, same rubbish.
