Nicky Morgan faces times table grilling

The Prime Minister will today announce new powers to improve the performance of thousands of schools across England.

David Cameron's plans, if the Tories win the general election, include:

  • Sacking up to 3,500 headteachers

  • Drafting in superheads for schools 'requiring improvement'

  • Forcing thousands of schools to become academies

The plans have been described as 'the latest gimmick', so we ask Education Secretary Nicky Morgan to explain them further - and whether she can tell us what 7x8 is!
