Ex-teachers in education
actually there is going to be a serious problem when the ex-bankers start becoming teachers.
The problem I see is that the tolerance levels of bankers is actually not very good. I don't know how any serious banker will cope. When I retired from banking I assisted in health and education, one as a memeber of my local CHC and another as a school governor.
As a school governor with a financial back-ground I naturally became involved in the finances of the school. The problem was that it was part of a local reorganisation and was more or less told to follow the PFI route to fund its rebuild. This I seriously could not agree with, and accordingly as the chair was in favour and more or less did a back me or sack me, I was left with no alternative than to resign.
As for the CHC (Community Health Council), well that was abolished by a certain government, so I joined my local PCT as a member for their Clinical Governance, as a lay member. Well that was more than interesting because what seems like a lifetime after I left it, having done two years, I am still not seeing the changes which were obvious.
Finally, may I say that I would not always agree with Digby-Jones but his contribution to a select committee should be read and acted upon, with some urgency.
It really is not a good idea to get ex-bankers involved in teaching, they will go mental.
