			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Private Eye report that Sally Morgan, new Ofsted honcho, and adviser to school privatisation champions, <a href="http://www.arkonline.org/about-ark/the-team/3/" target="_blank" class="liexternal previewlink">ARK</a>, will work only 2 days but be paid £45K pa.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.educationstate.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/article-1355052-0D17C3AE000005DC-81_308x185-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="morgan" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1822" /></p>
<p>Aside from the fact that no-one is worth that much for a couple of days work, it also means that the head of the schools inspection body gets to say whether academies (that she is herself a champion of) are performing badly or not. </p>
<p>It also means that two of the most powerful people in UK education  &#8211; Morgan and Michael Barber &#8211; work for companies &#8211; ARK and McKinsey &#8211; that would like nothing better than to run education themselves.</p>
<p>The Tory strategy sadly is all too clear: Privatisation. </p>
<p>They reason that the market knows best and our schools should be doing much better. Both of which are exaggerated if not completely false claims.</p>
<p>And the Education Secretary wants MORE powers?!</p>
