Letter: Do the maths on education choices


(Guardian (UK) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) *?The misfit is with the economics, not the science. Two-thirds of new jobs are in services, and that is our folly; we need to produce the goods we use. Plessey used to lead the world in the semiconductor industry. We led the world with nuclear reactors. We had highly experienced engineers and scientists. Britain needs to get back to doing productive jobs and rely less on services, the volatile markets and the City for its profits. A sound economy is what will avert another crash in the markets. Teaching has changed. Read Science Inside the Black Box for insight into how innovative teachers are improving the attainment of all. There are no productive jobs for the scientists.
