Amanda Spielman

And then there was a backlash against lesson objectives 'cause they were done with the almost some type vibes, or you had to scaffold them according to Blooms or whatever.

And then in the curriculum turn, people were like, you know, the, the education inspection framework with Amanda Spielman and people like that, they were like, "No, no, we don't need to do that.

Uh, we just need to focus on the knowledge that the students are learning and things along those lines." And e- everyone here is caught up in this mess somewhere, right? So the idea of having one big PowerPoint for a whole unit, I really like, to be honest.

I don't like the idea of having discrete lessons.

We've had the inquiry results.

We've had Amanda Spielman.

We've now got Martin Oliver.

We've had this new framework, which some people say is worse than the old framework.

But I do want to be able to say he does both of those things.

You decide.

But my point is just to throw it out there, right? Amanda Spielman, remember her? Amanda Spielman, when I was in Fulham Boys' School, she came out with this big thing in the Times newspaper, which I wrote an article against her.

And she said she had absolutely no time for right-wing extremism.

Though I know John's written a blog, uh, kind of challenging the idea that if you don't actually create any jobs, that's not going to work.

Uh, uh, the, the second was a, a, a kind of by all accounts, very interesting and, and, and amusing showdown between Lord David Willetts and the Shadow Work and Pensions Minister Amanda Spielman, who essentially said that a degree is a massive waste of, of young people's time, and they shouldn't lose three years where they could be productively working.

See aforementioned point about jobs on that one.

But the big, big announcement on university funding for the Conservatives is that they want to save or think they can save 900 million pounds a year by cutting student loans for non-UK nationals.
