Abstract
Despite claims made for them, many current education policies have perverse consequences. If all our children are to benefit from the good education they deserve, we need: forms of accountability that do not rely on school performance tables of test results; a focus on standards that embody high expectations for all; the urgent creation of a College of Teaching; the establishment of a national board of education that sits above party politics and can plan long term.
