But what's actually wrong with 'unqualified teachers'? If they're so bad, how come private schools like them? Why not trust senior management teams to hire the best teachers? Sometimes that'll be people with a shiny certificate saying they can teach, sometimes that'll be people who don't.
Would you want an unqualified surgeon operating on you? Would you want someone without a pilot's license flying you? Qualifications maintain basic minimum standards.
If someone is a great teacher, they should fly through teacher training.
In terms of introduction of a 'Victorian era curriculum', why criticise that now? Aren't outcomes pretty important when judging something like that? Was what we had before better?
Outcomes are important and that's why modern teaching has moved away from Gove's ideas. They do not work.
What we had before was drawn up by people with experience in the education sector. It was based on evidence and research. Gove swept all of that away because apparently he knew better.
Again - if he and his changes were so bad, why weren't Labour going to roll them back? If it was the case, that would have been sensible in of itself
and a massive help politically

.
Labour would have changed the curriculum and the coalition backtracked on ditching GCSEs. It wouldn't be practical to demolish free schools though.
If Gove did such a great job, why was he effectively sacked?
