23 June 2008
Commenting on the CBI’s response to Government’s plans for Diplomas, Christine Blower, Acting General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, Europe’s largest teaching union said;
“No one should be surprised about the CBI’s untimely intervention against the modern foreign languages, science and humanities Diplomas. Sir Digby Jones, former director-general of the CBI, pulled the rug from under Mike Tomlinson which in turn gave a dog whistle to Tony Blair and Ruth Kelly to block the Tomlinson Report.

“A lesson for the Government should be that it ought to be careful about the friends it chooses.”
