No More Gove!

So now that Michael Gove has gone, the education system will hopefully be modernised and brought back to its original state. Gove has spent years making the education system outdated, and quite frankly, unfair. However, Nicky Morgan should be able to turn things around.

Fresh ideas from a fresh mind and a fresh governmental cabinet should create a modernised, fairer education system for all. David Cameron has made a fantastic decision – and it looks like he may have actually listened to the teacher strikes... for once!

Too many students are leaving school unsatisfied, desperate to get out of the place; however, I believe that this could be the start of something very worthwhile – something that may actually make a difference to students, teachers and everyone else involved in the crippling education system!

Personally, I believe that students should be praised for things they do – at the moment, the government don’t seem to care; this is causing students to be lazy, and making them want to quit; however, a little bit of praise would do the world of good – it certainly wouldn’t go a miss.

Sometimes tradition isn’t always best. Yes, in the 40s, this curriculum may have been effective in achieving high-quality results and making students enjoy school. However, it isn’t anymore... students deserve a curriculum that they enjoy, a curriculum that makes them want to learn and go on to be successful in the future. Not one that makes them believe that the ‘benefits life’ would be a much better, easier option. Right now, students are not leaving school with a good work ethic and a mature attitude; they are leaving with a sense of self-doubt and shear fatigue. They are desperate to leave school, purely so they can be independent and build their confidence one more.

The education system requires a pick-up, from someone who can bring in new ideas to create equality of opportunity and promote meritocracy. Too many students are attending school day-in-day-out and absolutely detesting it; it’s about time it was made fun again! It is about time we had an education secretary that actually cared about us, our views and our lives! Let’s hope Nicky Morgan is the woman for the job!
