Ted Wragg, one of the best known figures in English education, has died suddenly at the age of 67.
EducationGuardian.co.uk | Special Reports | Guardian columnist Ted Wragg dies: This is very sad - he was one of the good guys. "Ted Wragg, one of the best known figures in English education, has died suddenly at the age of 67. He retired formally as head of Exeter University's school of education in 2003 after 32 years but an energetic flow of articles and activities - including regular columns in the Guardian - continued to make his genial presence robustly felt in debates about education. Constantly defending the classroom teacher against bureaucracy and misguided political initiatives, Wragg was hero worshipped in staff rooms, if not in Whitehall or the offices of the schools inspectorate, Ofsted." |
