He provided an overview of the prevailing government attitude towards education in 1988, why they felt NC was necessary and the negotiations at the time with teachers unions to avoid a national strike. Lord (Kenneth) Baker was the minister (Dept of Industry) who announced half price computer for each Secondary School back in 1981 and is also remembered for introducing whole school INSET days (still sometimes referred to as Baker days)
