I am retired but have done some voluntary work in the education and community organising spheres since retirement. I find the current education world exasperating and despair for the children. The priorities are wrong for them and wrong for the economy. What we need are right brain thinkers yet everything about the policies of the last 20 years have been increasingly about developing left brain achievements which are totally not what our country needs in this century and this stage of our economic cycle. I prefer now to work for myself and leave others to fight this waste of effort, capital and lives.
