Ne'er a teacher in sight............that's my point exactly,if these 'experts' are that, they can get off their backsides and sit in on the problem schools and if that doesn't work ,well sack em as they are useless at achieving  what they expect others to achieve... or the job under these gov targets is impossible ,in which case sack em as it was their proposals.

I like this idea best ..Govs to set a standard not a target...as their own standards fly well below that of your average human being of common sense value ,we will then have to allow people who teach to set the standards via parent and teacher outlines and the gov and its advisors can save money by getting real jobs (that they may be good at) and chipping in instead of taking out.
