Description

Conservative Party Chairman Norman Tebbit complains that the Inner London Education Authority has been about politics rather than education - management have been forcing politics down the line, and many good teachers have left. There is a serious truancy problem in ILEA schools, and the teachers’ pay dispute needs resolving. Female interviewer not identified.
