What does “satisfactory” mean?

Satisfies the needs of the user? Fit for purpose?

No. Not at all.

It seems that in the world of OfSTED it means “Good enough to get by – just about” or “Could do better if s/he tried – but s/he isn’t”.

According to OfSTED’s annual report, quoted in the December 2009 issue of Adults Learning, “too many providers judged satisfactory are failing to improve”.
