Estelle Morris talks to Ralph Tabberer about his job as director general of schools and the task of implementing frequently changing government policy.
Tabberer reveals that, in his opinion, previous failures haven't been down to bad ideas, but bad implementation. Morris pushes him on the recent White Paper and what it actually means in terms of practical developments in schools.
Tabberer also talks about his time at the Training and Development Agency, and how he transformed teacher recruitment. Finally, he explains what challenges he thinks the teaching profession faces today.
