Charlie Taylor on 'School Direct'

School Direct is the government's new school-based training programme. Teaching Agency chief executive Charlie Taylor argues why this new approach will help schools to develop the highest quality new teachers.

The education secretary often says that we have the best generation of teachers this country has ever seen. I completely agree with him – I have visited plenty of schools during my time with the government and I have been really impressed by the skill, passion and sheer hard work of the teachers I have met. 

They are one of the most important forces for good in our society, responsible for the education of millions of children and preparing them for the next stage of their lives. It is why I want to ensure that anyone who joins their ranks has the best possible chance to succeed.
