BBC NEWS | Education | Teachers' head chides Ruth Kelly

Ruth Kelly is the worst education secretary Labour has had, a teachers' leader has said.

Hilary Bills, incoming president of the National Union of Teachers, said Ms Kelly came across as "patronising".

She might be intelligent and a high-achiever but lacked the interpersonal skills to which teachers were accustomed.

A New Labour Minister "patronising". Nah... Surely not?
