Although we only ran a News Biscuit article on Friday last week - seeing this baby out this morning, we couldn’t resist linking through to it. It’s particularly poignant for some. Ed

PS. Don’t be too alarmed - it’s just a bit of fun - News Biscuit is one of the best satirical news Websites around.

Sadly this seemed to be the political reality during the SATS marking crisis with the Minister pictured blaming one of his public agencies rather than the DCSF for the disaster that SATs became.

Education is slipping down its priorities, the Ministry was called Department for Education & Skills but now education is only a secondary priority at the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
