Write a letter to ministry to education suggesting important point for employing skilled manpower in country
Answers
Dear Sir,
I wish to apply for the position of minister of education.
I have been an English teacher in a secondary school for six years, teaching across the age range up to A-level. I've been a form tutor and have taken on a variety of professional development opportunities to benefit the department, school and pupils. It is because of my experience, knowledge and understanding of education that I am perfectly suited for the position of minister of education. This letter will outline the supporting evidence, and illustrate my plans for education in the United Kingdom.
We all agree that pupils are the most important aspect of education. Teachers work tirelessly to ensure that they provide the best education possible. They spend hours planning – and then more hours assessing – engaging lessons that interest students and allow them to demonstrate their progress in every subject. It is in the country's best interest that teachers are trusted to prepare the children for their futures.
The obstacles and insults that the current minister has levelled at teachers over the past two years, however, have undermined our confidence, competence, and freedom to teach effectively. My grassroots knowledge of the myriad government initiatives introduced since my PGCE training gives me a unique insight into how too many schemes can detract the attention of teachers from their students, forcing them to focus instead on hoop-jumping and box-ticking exercises in a bid to keep their jobs.
As the new minister, I would bring these initiatives to an end, allowing time for those already in place to be assessed and evaluated for success or failure. Those that work will stay; the rest, gone. Any new ideas will be developed by a committee of teachers and educators, whose motivation is focused on the pupils of the UK, not on their own ambition and pay grade.
The government understands how important it is to have intelligent and educated teachers in the classroom, hence its recent drive to ensure that the best and the brightest are attracted to teaching. My academic background is extensive, having spent a total of 13 years in higher education, resulting in four degrees. The best way to utilise my own education was to return to education, and pass on my knowledge and wisdom. The current minister of education has failed to realise, however, that his focus should not be on how to get the best into teaching, but on how to keep experienced teachers in the classroom.
To this end, I have outlined my plans for the department of education below:
• Remove this ministry from the political agenda entirely. We are all agreed that the education of children is the fundamental purpose, and they should not suffer for some politician's ambition.
• After stabilising education in this country, I would establish the minister of education position as an elected non-partisan post, with the requirement that candidates have a minimum of five years' teaching experience.
• Remove needless directives that are of no benefit or importance to education to restore confidence in teachers' abilities to teach and assess.
• Restore the national pay scale – effective immediately – and reinstate the original pension scheme. Teachers who worry about their own futures have less time to ensure that the highest standards of resources and teaching are delivered in the classroom.
• Return to an end-of-year assessment by the teacher, based upon work throughout the year, that determines whether a child moves forward or stays in that year group. 'No Child Left Behind' has been universally detrimental as we allow students to proceed through the education system with less-than-basic literacy. This has affected everyone's futures in ways that were not previously considered.
• Remove league tables as a measure of a school's success. Schools are not a business and should not be forced to follow a business model any longer.
If the current minister does not back down on his vilification of teachers in general, there will be no teachers at all; established teachers will leave the profession, and new teachers will never join. This minister is working towards the closure of schools and the total failure of education across the country.
I believe that the experience I have gained in teaching has prepared me to be the most effective minister of education this country has had. My own vision of what teaching has been, and can be again, will create an intelligent, free-thinking society, made up of members who accept their own accountability, can see how their actions have consequences, and will act in accordance to benefit themselves and contribute to British society in general.
