‘Professionalism of our staff ‘ Language dehumanises

teaching As the language of performance and management

has advanced, so we have proportionately lost a language of education which recognises the intrinsic value of pursuing certain sorts of question ... of seeking understanding [and] of exploring through literature and the arts what it means to be human. ‘Nuffield Review the future of education of 14-19 year olds ‘

"The public sector has been administered on a very basic, and misleading, interpretation of how the private sector operates. If you are a salesman, you have sales targets, but if you are in, for example, human resources or legal services, you have a job description and you do it, without targets. Education is not just a matter of turning sausages out of a sausage machine and hitting targets - and that's where it's gone wrong."Ruth Lea, a former head of policy at the Institute of Directors and an adviser to the Arbuthnot Banking Group
