Could this be the reason teachers will, every 5 years, face losing their jobs?

Ed Balls has announced plans to introduce 5 years licences for teachers.

Any teacher that does not qualify to have their licence renewed at the end of 5 years will automatically be prohibited from teaching and thus lose their job.

Best of all - the licence is renewed by the head teacher, so upset your boss at your peril! If the head teacher doesn't like you (maybe a personality clash or you have expressed concern at his poor management) you are finished! On the other hand, if the head teacher is your mate or you both subscribe to the same dodgy websites you have a job for life amongst the children..........

The truly concerning bit comes when you look into 'Common Purpose', indications are that they are trying to place their 'graduates' into positions of authority and influence, teaching positions are excellent opportunities to indoctrinate young minds and if the 'old school' teachers can be pushed out when their licence expires then there could be many opportunities for more common purpose graduates.

Read up about them and come to your own conclusions............
