Andy Burnham is putting regionalism back on the agenda, but we don’t need a major restructure to put power over education in the hands of our regions, writes @LesWalton500 of @EducateAdvise tes.com/magazine/analysis/ge…

Regionalism doesn’t have to mean another reorganisation

A move towards more local approaches to education could mean major upheaval - but we may already have many of the systems we need in place, says the chair of the Association of Education Advisers

Because Ofsted was set up as a non-ministerial department, the oversight of it - and other bodies like Ofqual - is not as clear cut as you might think, explains Dennis Sherwood
