Education board 'hasn't been properly briefed for years'

'I don't think the board has been adequately briefed, not just on this issue – standards and performance – but on a range of issues over the past three-and-a-half years.

'I know that previous boards met with them every year where we haven't been given that opportunity.

'They were able to advise us of a whole range of information which should have been made available to us, not only over the last few weeks but the last few years,' he said.
