Coolin It will only be a 'renaissance' IF OFSTED also feel it is important enough to comment on in their inspection reports. All too often if something is not compulsory then they will not examine it, the teams work to tender and try to keep their costs as low as possible. Hence so many Business Studies, Economics and Child Development departments and courses (to name but 3) get ignored and consequently become the poor relations in school staffing and resource funding which is often determined as a response to the OFSTED report and the subsequent action plan. If we want this to make a difference we (or Blunkett and the DfEE) have to persuade OFSTED of its value. Sorry to be so cynical ... but there have been too many highly publicised band wagons which fizzle out to nothing; regretably this is likely to be just another one. I hope I'm wrong!
