There is a shortage of teachers but the January 2001 schools census showed that teacher numbers were at their highest level than at any time since 1984 - and 11,000 higher than 1997.

Headteachers and governing bodies run schools and that won't change.

However, the Government has made it clear that we do not encourage the recruitment of teachers from developing nations where there may be an adverse effect on the economy.

By creating useful job descriptions and making clear what qualifications should be expected, the Department aims to help improve schools' ability to recruit the right people.

What politicians want to create is irreversible change because when you leave office someone changes it back again.

I know there are things I did in education that will never be reversed. I have not done that in film yet because I have only been here for about nine months.
