The Chief Inspector of schools, Christine Gilbert has written in the Sunday Telegraph that students are being let down by inadequate teachers (BBC News).
Ms Gilbert called for schools to be able to fire underperforming staff more easily and criticised a "revolving door syndrome" which enabled poor to teachers move from school to school.
She said: "As I go round the country heads tell me how difficult it is to get rid of weak teachers.
"They say they start the procedure and they might be 18 months down the line and the teacher will move... we need to be thinking of ways of preventing that.
"That isn't Ofsted's role but I sympathise with head teachers about that."
