Quangos

I love the report in the papers today syaing that quangos in education should be abolished.

The QCA (now the QCDA) costs £155m a year and has an instrusive nature!
TDA budget has increased from £230m to £777m in just 8 years (the majority of business would be happy with an increase in revenue like that)
Becta is not required by schools, neither is NCSL, 11 million, Teachers TV.

Revamp Ofsted, slim it down and take it back to its core provision along with P4S and others.

Results - savings of £633m and the final comment from the writers of the report the CPS (presumeably a quango) is that "it is not obvious what's been achieved for the money that's been spent"

Don't expect much will change though!
