Hugh Reilly: Poor show of stating the bleedin' obvious
More than a third of adults residing in the city's North East constituency have no educational qualifications. As a constituent and holder of eight O grades, six Highers, a BA, a PGCSE and a TEFL certificate, I feel a certain smugness when I pop round to the Spar store for my morning rolls and steak sliced sausage. It would be foolhardy, nay, unhealthy, however, to alert fellow constituents of my educational achievements. Local gangs of unemployed teenage street monkeys are genetically programmed to be suspicious of anyone wearing spectacles and not in regulation sportswear - in their eyes, displaying obvious signs of intelligence, such as possessing a library card or ostentatiously carrying a broadsheet newspaper are grounds for serious assault. For the past 50 years, the Labour Party has controlled the city council and its education policies. One might have thought it would accept at least a smidgeon of responsibility for Glasgow having four of the worst ten constituencies in the UK with regard to educational qualifications. However, in a piece of perceptiveness not seen since the lookout of the Titanic laid the blame for the liner's sinking squarely on the shoulders of the iceberg, the constituency MP, Willie Bain, declared that the SNP government was culpable. Quoth Bain: "It is not rocket science. The SNP must stop cutting teachers and focus on creating training opportunities, jobs and apprenticeships instead of their obsession with independence." His absurd analysis may play well with the 35 per cent of his constituents who left the education system with nothing, but it leaves those of us who are literate in deep despair. Being the gullible idiot that I am, I had hoped this type of immature mudslinging had been ditched by the Labour hierarchy in the wake of its landslide defeat at the polls, but apparently not. I don't wish to be pedantic but, erm, the SNP administration does not hire or fire a teacher. My elected representative should be aware that councils, not government, make decisions vis-Ã -vis teacher recruitment. There is also the ticklish problem of chronology. The SNP has been in power for only four years, yet the research looked at adults aged 16-60. Employing Mr Bain's logic, the catalyst for the ignorance found in North East Glasgow must have been Winnie Ewing's 1967 by-election victory in Hamilton. Many want independence, not for romantic or historical reasons, but because it might just solve these problems.Tefl Certificate In England - News
