We've signalled that they're only going to be in place for three years. We are carrying out our own review of the impact of those and that's been built in, but I expect the OECD report—because it is an extensive report—to give us feedback on how those things are working now, and some steer, as they did with the last report, as to the direction we would want to go into.

And what I'm also interested in is those performance management measures around schools. Yes, they're about outcomes for children, but actually are about a broader suite of behaviours within that school, so, yes, qualifications and grades are an important part of a performance measure, but actually, I have other expectations of schools, above and beyond simply qualifications. And so, we would want our permanent set of performance measures to look at a wider set of behaviours within a school, and I think because—. Exams are important—of course they are, qualifications are important—but the way in which those schools achieve those results are also important.

Would you anticipate that including well-being, then?

I absolutely—and we need to find a way of how we can truly measure that. Sometimes, children's well-being is influenced by lots of things outside the control of a school. So, I don't want schools to be held accountable for things that they have no control over, because of the circumstances in which a child may be living. But, absolutely: well-being and how the culture of the school addresses well-being is really important to me.

How useful is PISA for you in helping school improvement? I know that it's not always the thing that you enjoy watching or looking out for. But, genuinely, how useful is it?

It is one of a range of tools that we need to look at. Siân, quite rightly, talked about consistency. PISA is one thing where there is a level of consistency, so it will continue to be, I think, an important part of how we test how our system is doing.

We know that you are a little bit encouraged, but we are not out of the woods yet. You mentioned this in Plenary when we talked about PISA. How confident are you that we are on track for meeting these targets that were set before your time, or do you think that having those targets is helpful? Is it setting up aspirations that are incapable of being met within a period of time?

Well, those long-term targets of a score around 500 are part of 'Our National Mission', and we have to keep the pressure on to strive. They are testing, but we have to keep the pressure on to strive to reach them. In some cases, I can be quite encouraged. If we look at reading scores for girls, we are almost there, but that just demonstrates what a journey we've got with our boys to address. For me, one of the ways in which we will reach those targets and achieve them is further progress on our more able and talented children. Although we are now performing at an OECD average, I will be the first person to admit that, although we have seen an improvement in the higher level skills of our more able and talented children, we do not perform at an OECD average with regard to those level 6 and level 5 scores.

Even within the UK, really, we are quite far behind.

Yes. So, I think that's where we really need to push on. That's one of the reasons why we have introduced a more able and talented budget to support that, and our Seren programme, which is delivering fantastic results post-16. That's why we're introducing the principles of Seren earlier into children's careers, bringing it down from year 9 upwards, to be able to drive improvements. So, I think that that's the area that we are particularly keen to work on: making sure that more of our children perform at the OECD average at level 5 and level 6. Clearly, we've got more work to do on reading. We are working with southern Ireland, who have consistently done well with reading scores, to look to see what lessons we can learn to press on with there with reading.

Okay. My final question on this. You recognise it as a priority, particularly for boys. Does that mean that the focus will then drift slightly from maths, where there has been some success; and drift from science, where the encouragement of more people to take GCSE science has reduced the number of high-level passes?

First, we have to have a system that is capable of doing all of those of things at the same time. We can't accept a system that says, 'Well, we can do a bit over here, but that means we have to—.' We have to have a system, Suzy, that can drive improvements at all levels. That's my expectation.

Absolutely, yes. That's my expectation of this system. You have to deliver across all of these. We have seen some progress. As I've said, it's far from perfect, and we've got more work to do, but we have to deliver across all three domains, as we did last time. And I'm not going to make any apologies for changing the performance indicators around science. It was a travesty that there were children who never had the opportunity to sit a science GCSE. We don't have to make assumptions about the nature of many, many, many of those children. We have seen a significant increase in the number of children who are having the opportunity to sit GCSE science and who are passing GCSE science. So, I'm not going to make any apologies about that. One of the reasons that I suspect we have ended up with poor science scores is because of the previous policy around science entries and science qualifications. Again, one of the reasons that we have changed it isn't just solely because we need to do better in PISA, but I think that by changing it, we will see an impact on PISA.

so the functional requirements are  is  is part of my goal but why don't we pass right to the second slide. Cause that's where m my discussion starts. Right well um since I'm in charge of trying to figure out what we should put on this thing since I have to try to sell it.

Um  I thought that the method I should follow would be gather suggestions from everybody , and th the reason I just put that there like that is that uh in the init in the initial stage I think I should just be open to lots of suggestions. You know you can say anything you want no matter how silly it sounds you know it should run your car , it should heat up your motor if should um turn on your C_D_  whatever you want it to do

um and then as we go on what we'll have to do is accept and eliminate these suggestions according to um design and budget feasibility. So I'll be coming to you um frequently as the Industrial Expert to tell me how hard it's gonna be to add a feature or how expensive it's gonna be or if your time , if it takes five years to develop this it's just something we can't do.

So that was um what I meant there , and as I said on the slide there consulting the Industrial Engineer about that and the other thing is timing is really gonna be as important as money , because if we're gonna sell this thing , I think the best time to sell it is as a Christmas present. Twenty five Euros makes a nice little present , and we want it to be an impulse purchase ,

we want somebody to see it and think it's , gee I just gotta have that. And take out their wallet and buy it. So it's gotta be really attractive and it  but it's gotta go to market by September , 'cause anything that you don't already have out there in September showing it around , isn't gonna sell for Christmas.

Um  and then I'll be coming to you as the User Interface person to try to tell me from your point of view what are the most friendly features that we could put on it and try to prior help me with that prioritising of uh of the features and of the the look and the colour

Okay can we go to the next slide please ? Alright I I already did a little bit of research after our first meeting where we threw out some ideas and it looks to me that within the budget that we're looking at the uh the whole house idea really isn't gonna be possible. So I'd like your suggestions to come back to the other slide where I was saying we we could suggest anything.

I'd like the suggestions to be really specific , so that we'll have a list of things we can cross off , not something like you know whole house control what'll be   And then I found on the internet from from my research that some extended electronic entertainment control should be possible. At the budget that we're looking at and at the price point we're looking at , we should be able to make it work the T_V_ , the V_C_R_ , the stereo set um maybe something else cute like a coffee pot or one other appliance or maybe a lamp.

Uh okay , can can I at this point interject um something ?

Um we have received instruction from higher up that certain things should not be uh considered. Um the one thing for example  something to eliminate maybe that's the teletext ,

and the third thing that they wanna make sure um that their  that the corporate image is being maintained , and that the corporate colour and design are being used on the product , so that it's easy that that that they can be easily identified as a product of of of the company , and that there's no mistake that it could be somebody else who is bringing this out.

So I just wanted to interject this here so we're not getting too much off track here with uh with the things we wanna look at. These were instructions from higher up so we have to eliminate uh these things , so it's only gonna be T_V_ ,

Alright , thanks for that. Um alright now  other things that I found out on  in my research is that the complaints that people have about the remote controls that are out there now. 'Cause a lot of them take too much time to learn how to use , and that was thirty four percent but even more important the thing that we did address in our last meeting that frequently it's lost somewhere in the room. Um so those are two things that we definitely do wanna address , uh we wanna s make it as simple as possible , we wanna make it um obvious and intuitive to use , and then the things about finding it we talked about the  a light emitting thing as well as uh maybe a beep , and I think that those are things after my research that we definitely wanna try to incorporate. 'Kay can we go to the next slide please ? Okay , so , my personal preferences in this um project are really have to concentrate on the sizzle. That is the selling point , the thing that's gonna make it an impulse purchase. Uh because once there's no be-back , well in sales they always say you know , be-backs don't come back.


Alright , thanks for that. Um alright now  other things that I found out on  in my research is that the complaints that people have about the remote controls that are out there now. 'Cause a lot of them take too much time to learn how to use , and that was thirty four percent but even more important the thing that we did address in our last meeting that frequently it's lost somewhere in the room.

If somebody says , oh I'll come back and get it next week you're dead. They're never gonna come back and buy it. You've gotta make it attractive enough so they buy it now now now w now is a big word in in my book for selling this thing. And , in order to make it really sellable we've gotta shorten the learning curve , make sure it's really intuitive and easy to use. We have to have as few buttons as possible , because more buttons is more confusion , so that's why I'm saying , simplicity is good. Finding it's important , obviously you can't use it if you can't find it. So we've gotta concentrate on the features that help you find it , and I've already said this several times but I put it down in writing here , it should be an attractive impulse purchase at twenty five Euros. So it has to have enough value that when somebody looks at it they say , uh twenty five Euros I'm not gonna take that. Has to be so great that they're gonna say , uh twenty five Euros isn't much. Um and then maybe a motto , like we put fashion in electronics might be something we can use in our marketing campaign.

No , it's like a well you you have to press here. The cup cup shape here ?


No , it's like a well you you have to press here. The cup cup shape here ?


Yeah exactly. Uh so today I'm going to talk about the working design of the remote controller. Um can you go to the next sli slide please ?


Yeah exactly. Uh so today I'm going to talk about the working design of the remote controller. Um can you go to the next sli slide please ?

The metal is like uh in a remote controller you have a chip integrated circuit which is like a brain of the remote controller. It takes the power from a battery say a battery it it can be a elec an electric supply like you have to uh like uh switch connec connect connect your remote controller to uh power supply from the you know electricity or something like that. It should be a battery because uh uh remote controller should be like you you you should take it t to wherever you want and then um uh th

this integrated circuitry takes energy from the power source and whatever like if you press a button it's like a input for the remote controller and it takes the input and it it transforms into a infro infrared bits and it sends it into the device , like a T_V_ or a air conditioner , something like that so. Uh a remote controller is specifically designed to a single device. If you want to design it for multiple devices then you should make all the devices compatible with the frequency like uh th the remote controller it sends some bits some uh waves like with a particular frequency the device should know what the frequency is. It should re re recognise the uh waves which are coming from the remote controller and it should take the action like if you press a button channel or something like that then uh the remote uh remote controller will send a send a se  send a signal ,

and the T_V_ it should translate that into like change the channel or something like that , change the volume control


and the T_V_ it should translate that into like change the channel or something like that , change the volume control


and uh so uh I think it's hard to design a remote controller for multiple uh devices.

Yeah well that's already been eliminated by management , so we're off the hook .


Yeah well that's already been eliminated by management , so we're off the hook .


Um. So uh user interface controls the chip and accordingly the messages like there should be a user user in interface like you know switch pad or something like that buttons should be there. So uh you can control whatever you want , you want to change the channel you want to control the volume you you want to uh mute uh mute the uh T_V_ or you want to have a child lock or you want to do some operations there's a  there should be some device to tell what to do to the uh in uh integrated circuit so that the integrated circuit can s send the signals and T_V_ can perform the actions.

So can you go to the next slide please ?

So I I just would like to uh add some extra features to the remote controller um I think these are the very simple features and uh they don't take much uh uh much of the um um investment also ,


So I I just would like to uh add some extra features to the remote controller um I think these are the very simple features and uh they don't take much uh uh much of the um um investment also ,

it's like el the text or buttons which uh which are there on the uh remote controller they  those we can make uh um like fluorescent uh they'll be like light emitting if it is dark so that you can find your remote controller if it is dark.


it's like el the text or buttons which uh which are there on the uh remote controller they  those we can make uh um like fluorescent uh they'll be like light emitting if it is dark so that you can find your remote controller if it is dark.

And ther there should be a beep if many buttons are pressed if suppose a child is playing with the remote controller and a and she she or he is pressing the buttons all at the time then there should be a beep saying that it's  this this is not a a you know a a action , there can be no action taking to that so. And there should be a child lock , like uh uh you should be able to lock your remote controller so that uh um whatever buttons are pressed by a child they can't be like y you i you if you have ki kids and all then they'll be pl playing with the remote controllers so can lock the remote controller. If make it useable for more than one device it's a it's hard but I think it's possible

or a little animal shape or in a  or a little elephant so they can remember where it is.


And and the butto buttons also I think if you want to have more features in your remote controller then there should be more buttons. If there are more buttons then it will be more complicated. If you have less features then your remote controller won't be attractive , so I think uh we need to make some buttons which are  which are like um uh f in uh in intended for two or three operations , like if you press one button in one mode then it will change the channel , if you press the other button in another mode it will change the colour. So if you want to have less buttons we can have that option but I think it will complicate the matter more I think so.

Mm. Well , I think  I think that that's something that we'll have to discuss um with the User Interface person


Mm. Well , I think  I think that that's something that we'll have to discuss um with the User Interface person

because I think there's a lot of argument to be made for one button for one feature. Because I think one of the things were complaining about in my  what I found out in my research is when they complained about how hard it is to learn a new one.

So um maybe having buttons be various shapes might be a help too.


Yeah , yeah you don't  us yeah yeah , usually. Yeah.

So um maybe having buttons be various shapes might be a help too.

You know , like the  a triangle is for the volume and a square is for changing channels , so that people can uh develop a tactile sense of it.

That's right , yeah. Now that's a good point. Yeah.


That's right , yeah. Now that's a good point. Yeah.

And uh display clock i if you want more features then we can display a clock it I I don't think it will take any money extra money because anyway we have an integrated circuit I think we can just definitely fit that feature into the circuit so it's

Uh components uh the main components we need for uh it ha like buttons and uh underneath that there should be switch. And uh bulbs. Like uh we can have a bulb like whenever we are operating a remote controller or uh whenever the T_V_ is on suppose ,


Uh components uh the main components we need for uh it ha like buttons and uh underneath that there should be switch. And uh bulbs. Like uh we can have a bulb like whenever we are operating a remote controller or uh whenever the T_V_ is on suppose ,

then the remote controller should automatically have a b s light.


then the remote controller should automatically have a b s light.

Then it will be like if you switch on your T_V_ through anoth another source , not from  through a remote remote controller and you you lost your remote controller maybe you can find with the light.

Okay. As uh User Interface Designer I did a little research to find out what are the features which a user would like to have on their remote.

Yeah can you please go onto the next slide ?


Yeah can you please go onto the next slide ?

So I found out that uh but uh the main purpose of a remote is to uh f control the function of a television at a far off distance at remote distance. Now for that , uh a remote controller should have a switch on off button by which a user can sit anywhere in the room in front of the T_V_ and he can control the functionalities different functionalities of the T_V_.

Now for that , uh a remote controller should have a switch on off button by which a user can sit anywhere in the room in front of the T_V_ and he can control the functionalities different functionalities of the T_V_.

There should be a signal uh something like a radio wave or a infrared light or a LED which can be used to change the different functionalities in the television if the user wants to uh change the channels or increase the volume he can change it.


There should be a signal uh something like a radio wave or a infrared light or a LED which can be used to change the different functionalities in the television if the user wants to uh change the channels or increase the volume he can change it.

Now there should be some timer to set for viewing a particular a particular programme or switching on and off a uh a particular programme according to the user choice.


Now there should be some timer to set for viewing a particular a particular programme or switching on and off a uh a particular programme according to the user choice.

Yes. Yes. So if if he want to view a particular programme at say nine o'clock he can set the time , and the T_V_ will automatically it will switch on at that particular time.


Yes. Yes. So if if he want to view a particular programme at say nine o'clock he can set the time , and the T_V_ will automatically it will switch on at that particular time.

So he can use that kind of uh uh properties of features and then there should be a child lock system if a particular channel is not to be viewed by a particular uh for a certain age , then the parents can lock that particular channel so that the ch children cannot view that channel.

And uh the uh the uh and the  one of the feature a user would like to have is the compactness of the co remote.


And uh the uh the uh and the  one of the feature a user would like to have is the compactness of the co remote.

Uh t the remote should be compact and it should ha it should have as many buttons as possible for controlling different functionalities of the T_V_ television. And um uh as uh uh this is my personal preference that it should be in the shape of a T_ in alphabet for more compactability.

And uh and uh and it is one more point which I noted it down , like uh the material which which which is used for remotes should be human friendly it should not cause any skin disease or something some al allergy to either children or to um ad adult person.

And it should have an uh it can have an alarm clock a a person if some if somebody wants to get up at around eight eight P_M_ then he can set the time and it can be used as an alarm clock ,


And it should have an uh it can have an alarm clock a a person if some if somebody wants to get up at around eight eight P_M_ then he can set the time and it can be used as an alarm clock ,

and I don't think it will cost much to set an alarm clock inside a remote.

If there is a clock then there can be a alarm clock.

And an alarm clock , yeah that should  that should be okay.

and as John Reece said the buttons can be , uh can me we can use the fluorescence to light up the buttons so different uh buttons will glow differently. So in even in the dark the user can know what buttons to use to switch on a particular channel. And uh uh the design of the uh um remote should be in such a way that there should not be any sharp projections so that if a child plays with a remote , he uh he should not be harmed in any way.

And findings , uh I found out uh y um on different sites that uh there are different remotes which can be used , there are remotes which use the infrared for controlling the different functionalities , there are remotes which use the radio waves to control the functions and there are uh  So uh there you have different uh types of remotes for different light source which are used  which can be used for controlling the different functionalities of a television. Next slide. And these are my few personal preferences like it can be used for a multipurpose use. Not , uh no uh like it can  it can be used as a T_V_ control as plus an alarm clock to set an alarm a timing and it should have a child lock , and then to save electricity uh there should not be uh much s move uh lots of circuits and all that. And if a person if if if parents wants the television to be switched off by ten o'clock then it should be switched off ten o at ten o'clock automatically , so that nobody else comes later and use it.

Yes and uh evaluation criteria. The finance , it's uh from my side , from the management , and uh production evaluation. Then uh closing. So we have forty minutes to discuss and uh finalise and close the product and project and to move further , okay , so  Okay , let's talk about uh maybe first uh for the prototype.

Thanks. Alright , so from  when we were discussing specifying the case in the last meeting , we decided that we wanted an ergonomic shape , the material that we chose was wood , and uh the colour would be customisable , 'cause you can stain the wood whatever colour. Um , so in terms of function , you have to be able to turn the T_V_ on and off , volume and channel control , menu control , voice recognition control , and we've incorporated the L_C_D_ screen on the flip panel as part of the design , if we figure out it's too expensive , well then you just take it off.  Um , so  to unveil our lovely product. This is our remote control , with the flip panel as you can see.

Um , so  to unveil our lovely product. This is our remote control , with the flip panel as you can see.

So if you lift up the panel , you can see the lovely yellow L_C_D_ display.  Um , this is actually hard to do. The yellow button you have is the on off button , so it's really big , hard to miss. You have the the red um triangles are the toggles for changing the volume. So up  volume up , down  volume down. The green are the channel changing.  S And it's one of those very light , very touchable displays. And then you have the numeric pad in the dark blue at the bottom , and on the right-hand side you have the access to the menu on the T_V_ , and on the left-hand side you have the the the ability to turn off the voice recognition. So this is pretty much what we had on the white board the last time.

Additional feature on the back is that you can have your own customised backing and I suppose you could do the same thing on the flip case on the front. So that you can really make this a highly highly customisable remote control.

But it shouldn't be under the flip either , because you can have the remote control closed , but you still might want to activate it by voice.


No , I mean it depends on the design of the circuit board.

But it shouldn't be under the flip either , because you can have the remote control closed , but you still might want to activate it by voice.

Uh it's it's  Yeah , but uh uh my opinion I think it's better under the flip because whenever you want to uh the talk , okay , so then you can speak then you can close it. But if you put it on the on the flip , okay , then uh technical I don't think it's uh feasible , 'cause most of the time you speak then it will be recognised.

But if you've already got the remote control in your hand you need to open the flip to use the voice , why use the voice , why not just use your hand ? I mean the whole point of the voice is that if the remote control is sitting there and I'm too lazy to reach over and pick it up , I can just use my voice.

You need to work on the weight a little bit.


the little egg shapes aren't the most economical , but

Of course it's it's it's looks more heo heavy , but I think when it's completely  maybe it's a less weight.

There's only so much you can do. We could have possibly made it a lot thinner as well.  But  And part of the thing is m a lot of people say that they don't like something that's too light , because they don't feel like they have enough control over it.

Now it goes into this next phase as the financial uh marketing uh

Yes , that uh  So I'll come back to the   So evaluation criteria , I think uh that will be good , so then let's come to the finance uh , I have some uh calculations which I made uh as for uh the budget. So here you can uh look like uh the energy  and uh  dynamo and uh kinetic and solar cells. Uh it's optional , somewhat optional and Ed wants the chip on print , that's what uh we were talking about that.

Uh it's optional , somewhat optional and Ed wants the chip on print , that's what uh we were talking about that.

So then we have sample sensor and sample speaker , then uh we have the wood material , then special colour and push button. So it's uh  actually , our budget was uh twelve point five Euro , but uh it's coming to nine point nine five Euro , so we are under uh  below the budget , okay , so still we are saving some money. I think it's a good figure.

we're gonna have a bit of difference of opinion , yes.


. It's gonna cost a long way to c you know , cost a lot of money to market it , is it ?

we're gonna have a bit of difference of opinion , yes.

So maybe it's  for some money we can utilise for our uh marketing , for the sales , okay , and uh

Display in. But as far as production um I'm putting up a question because we're talking about profit also , and in mine you'll see uh  the problem with uh our survey , the p the possibility that how many units can be sold , what percentage of the market , etcetera etcetera because that  has to be taken in into consideration.

So to come up with what the company wants is a fifty million Pound profit , we're gonna have to go a long ways.


So to come up with what the company wants is a fifty million Pound profit , we're gonna have to go a long ways.

Yes. This we are talking about one unit , okay , so when it go into the quantity , okay , and the cost will come down.

Yep. Yeah.   But anyhow , still we are under control , okay , so what uh I will do is I will try to negotiate with the vendors , okay , to get uh the production cost less , okay , so then we can save some money , okay , to put into th our marketing or uh you know the promotions , whatever , okay , so that uh I will look after. I will speak to the management and how to get uh you know some more uh cost down.
