In a speech at the Academy of Durand in Stockwell, south London, said Gove regulations on the use of force inhibits the judgment of teachers.

he said. . "So let me be very clear, if a parent hears now a school to say," Excuse me, but can not physically touch the students, after school is not totally unacceptable level playing have changed. "

Gove said that men teaching in the light were deterred by fear of the rules that made contact between adults and children, "a legal minefield."

The government intended to launch a program this fall, encouraging members of former armed forces to take on teaching, especially in securing the male models, Gove said.

In a speech designed to address the causes of the riots of August, Gove began to make a moral distinction between what he calls a "working majority" and a "vicious, minorities outside the law, morality. "But he went to examine what he said were policy failures behind the creation of" sub-class education. "

Gove said that there had been a slow erosion of adult authority, subverted by a culture in which young people feel able to ignore the civilized limits. "The only way to reverse the dissolution of the authority is legitimate, step by step to move the pawl for new teachers."

Gove also spoke of a "rail link" between illiteracy, disruption, truancy, exclusion and crime.

More than 430,000 children were absent 15% of school time, and over one million students have lost 10% of the school year, he said.
