I could not agree more with York City City Adviser Johnny Kraosho (Messages, April 16). The explosion of executive roles, such as companies in schools, is a tragic anger and betrayal for students and teachers in those institutions.
While I was a teacher of a secondary school for the local authority, I acquired at least from the heads of the neighboring schools on a state of confidence from the unilateral country for their schools, and they persuaded their rulers to promote them in the new position of “CEO” for a growing salary, and the appointment of “head of the school” for a lower salary to manage the school, and sit effectively. Suddenly, and for the distinctive students for students, the cost of the presidency has doubled.
Meanwhile, as Crawshaw documents, multi -academic confidence funds (MATS) secrete more than newly created sites that are expensive and unnecessary, and absorb more and more schools to enhance and justify the enlarged executive wages. It is inevitable that the services provided by the local authority for all will decrease with the departure of schools to become academies.
Of course, the main losers are young people whose schools aim to serve – but also all frustrated teachers who do not stimulate it with the same intravenous values and who struggle with the sizes of larger classes and lower support services.
The position of CEO and CEO of roles in schools. Each school needs an enthusiastic teacher to teach and well -being of students in that school, with the support of adequate financing and good support services. They do not need corporate managers.
The name and address presented
Oscars for schools absorb life and financing from our educational system. I have knowledge, from a family member, from a secondary school that has become part of multiple academic confidence. They have seen changes that were supposed to be useful for children, but in reality they resemble the benefits of higher leadership.
An example of this is trips abroad, long -term flights, by high school staff “monitoring” teaching methods abroad. Another example is the high -ranking leadership meetings that take place in expensive places, while serving expensive food.
These privileges do not extend to support employees, who are expected to bring their tea bags to school and even provide cups of tea to visitors and interviews from their offer. This may be acceptable, based on the use of each shark directly for children, and if savings are applied to all employees in all fields, but it does not do so. Even support staff, at the minimum wage, had to take over the roles of therapists and educational psychologists due to lack of financing. Certainly the job title of “School Bursar” has become a “business manager”.
The school should be a center of learning, not a job. From what I can collect, financial accountability is not what it was. The reasons for the lack of financing must be seen closely.

Johnny Kraosho’s speech is also a problem that was also seen in the multiple academic confidence funds at the primary school, even small boxes. Directors of CEOs, financial managers and other middle administration staff (with salaries ranging from 110,000 pounds to 140,000 pounds) can drain the precious resources that should have been used to teach assistants and teachers in schools with tense budgets.
The services provided are much more than those provided by the local authority. For an eight -school mat, 500,000 pounds is a lot of money to transfer it from education, especially in light of the fact that schools are running He was forced to form teachers and Teaching assistants Excessive need to avoid going to the deficit. It is time to check the Ministry of Education to use public grant funds by MATS. Optimal inspection or DFE of the mats will be welcome.
