A North East teacher has launched a scathing attack on Ofsted, branding it a "failed project".
Daniel Kebede, president of the National Education Union (NEU) and a teacher in North Tyneside, said the Office for Standards in Education "is and always has been a failed project" and was "absent without leave during the pandemic".
Speaking at the NEU's annual conference in Bournemouth, he added that Ofsted was a "project that sends your workload rocketing and drives so much of the rot in education". "If what they did had any value they would prove it, but they have never published any evidence to prove that their inspections are accurate," he said, adding that at a time of "rocketing child poverty" the inspectorate had been given a funding boost.
