  politicians over the past 30 years have meddled in education without a real understanding of the outcomes. A quick look at the internet reveals the top 10 attributes that employers want in their employees;
  
  Verbal and written communication skills
  Honesty and integrity
  Interpersonal skills
  Teamwork skills
  Strong work ethic
  Motivation and initiative
  Flexibility and adaptability
  Computer skills
  Analytical skills
  Organisational skills
  
  The current education system does little to address these because they cannot be so easily measured as the numbers of GCSEs or A levels achieved.
  We need an honest debate as to what education is about - making a life or making a living? - as my guru, Neil Postman put it.
