		SHEPHARD: No. We wouldn't do that, because everything that we've done over the last seventeen years in education has been with an eye to pushing up standards, and we've done that by increasing diversity, by increasing choice, by increasing independence of schools, and their accountability.
		SHEPHARD: But the same truth pertains and it is this: what makes the quality of a school no matter what its situation is the quality of the Head and the quality of the teachers and they, I think, are given an extra spur by the competition of an adjoining school.
		SHEPHARD: Well that of course, is the key point and alongside that new flexibility that schools are going to have is a requirement for Local Educational authorities to set out clearly their policies for dealing with pupils that have behavioural problems - whether it's in special units, whether it's being educated at home - whatever.

	New Statesman: Haringey v the hit squad - United Kingdom Education Secretary Gillian Shephard may remove London school ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Gillian Shephard is about to decide whether a second London school should be officially `failed'.
		The Education Secretary, Gillian Shephard, has formally warned Haringey council that she wants to remove the school from its control and send in an "education association", vulgarly known as a "hit squad".
		The school and its Labour-run council are fighting Shephard hard, convinced that at stake is a prize of political value to both sides: the credit for knowing best how to turn around a failing school and deliver a decent education to inner-city children.

	Shephard in moral guidance furore
		GILLIAN SHEPHARD, the Education Secretary, was embroiled in fierce controversy yesterday over whether a proposed code of moral guidance for schools should include a commitment to marriage as an essential component of traditional family values.
		Mrs Shephard demanded that a draft statement to be published by the Government's curriculum advisers this week be toughened to include stronger references to the role of the family.
		Mrs Shephard, who received a copy of the draft last week, said she wanted the final version to underline the importance of the family as the bulwark of society.

		GILLIAN SHEPHARD: Do you think that the role of assessors would work better if, as you suggest in your evidence, there was some standardisation of the recruitment and training and so on of assessors?

		And they do deserve a wider audience, as Gillian Shephard was one of the more interesting people to have reached the Cabinet after 1979.
		Mrs Shephard's attack on the Government's constitutional reform as being without any overarching plan is surely right but the failure to devolve power downwards earlier has led to a build-up of resentment that current devolution may not assuage.
		Always a slightly enigmatic figure, Mrs Shephard talks a great deal about the exercise of political power but we are not any clearer at the end why she wanted to try and exercise it in the first place.

		Gillian Shephard, secretary of state for education and employment, announced details of the new national curriculum for initial teacher training this week.
		The content of the new curriculum has proved largely uncontentious, but higher education representatives are alarmed at a quiet expansion of the Government's power to intervene.
		This is the next big step to tighten up the controls and I'm taking up new statutory powers to do so." In order to implement the curriculum, Mrs Shephard will amend the 1988 Education Reform Act, which has so far prevented her from prescribing teacher training course content.

	Tories back Shephard over caning
		RIGHT-WING Tories rallied behind Gillian Shephard, the Education Secretary, last night after she was publicly rebuked by John Major for suggesting that the cane could be brought back to state schools.
		Within hours, she was called to the telephone during a school visit in Weybridge, Surrey, to be told by Mr Major that he would not allow the issue of corporal punishment to be reopened.
		He was warned that her remarks could be misinterpreted, and it was agreed to contact her to clarify what she had said and frame a form of words for Mr Major's reply if the issue was raised in the House.

		Gillian Shephard described this as "the biggest-ever shake-up of teacher training." Given the imminence of a general election, the announcement demands consideration of the question: what should Labour do?
		Labour's immediate response to Gillian Shephard's announcement was to counter-attack.
		He also pointed out, with some justification, that Mrs Shephard's renewed interest in initial teacher education followed his own suggestion, at the National Association of Headteachers conference in May, that initial teacher education needed an "urgent rethink".

		It is not at all clear that Mrs Shephard would agree with this programme, not least because it might expose her own uses to critical scrutiny.

		Not only was the convicted perjurer leaving prison for the day to see his wife and children, he was also going to catch up with friends and former colleagues who, for obvious reasons, he had not seen for over a year.
		Mrs Shephard, who has since broken her leg, insisted yesterday that contrary to reports there was no champagne at the party, and said: "When [the Archers] accepted, I naturally assumed that the terms of Jeffrey's conditions to leave from prison permitted him to attend the event."
		Yesterday morning, the head of the prison service, Martin Narey, clearly embarrassed and under pressure to show that Archer had not received special treatment, indicated that his days as a category D inmate were over.

		Gillian Shephard strongly indicated that this extra money should be passed directly through to schools.
		However he also stated that the total funding across all services was not being increased and that other services would have to make efficiency savings to balance this.
		As far as education goes OCC has received only 3.2%, which is less than the National average, so that schools are looking at guaranteed cuts of 2.2% minimum even if OCC passes all money through to schools as Gillian Shephard wants.

		Norfolk MP Gillian Shephard is angry over a Government disclosure that it wants compensation payments accompanying reform of the sugar beet industry to be shared with other farmers.
		The former agriculture minister, who has warned the reforms proposed by the EU could cause the loss of thousands of jobs in East Anglia, asked in a Commons debate if compensation would be specific to beet or form part of the single payment mechanism and therefore be shared between all farmers.
		Mrs Shephard said that the deal under discussion could especially help sugar production in Brazil where, according to the World Socialist website, the industry was being increased with the help of slave labour.
