So nice Mr Gove has now decided to drop his idea for an E-bacc to replace GCSEs following opposition from advisers, teachers and 'business leaders'.
I doubt that he will learn the obvious lesson. Like most thwarted ministers, he will now go around saying it is impossible to get things done: civil servants/the system/time-servers/the unimaginative/people ... lack courage/the desire to change/the will to change/vision ...
