Education’s strategy throughout is self-evidently to brainwash us all
DOES Education employ a PR firm? The spin to which islanders have been subjected over recent months is without parallel. And senior appointments have been made, some with newly created titles. The appointees are to serve in a hypothetical system involving two schools (or is it one school, sorry, college) with fancy names in abundance. Education’s strategy throughout is self-evidently to brainwash us all with the idea that what we are witnessing is a done deal. What Education is actually going to ask the States for is retrospective permission to make such appointments and for its massive spending agenda to be funded. But if the States say no, the scheme will bite the dust. What, one wonders, has Education promised these senior appointees in the event that the scheme is rejected? Is there an agreed pay-off?
