Noorul Choudhury

Fired:	Week 6	Qualifications:	GTTP, CIM
Age:	33	Qualifications:	GTTP, CIM
Career:	Science teacher	Hometown:	Rochdale

Science teacher Noorul Choudhury hopes to become a property development millionaire. Fashion-obsessed, he believes that Argos should be banned from selling jewellery and aims to start up a men's tailoring business one day. Describing himself as a straight-talking leader, he loves being kept on his feet and confesses to always putting work first. He believes that business is a cut throat, dog-eat-dog game that you must play to win.

He says: "I have always been ambitious and driven and I've got the capabilities to deliver. I am not all talk... I can manage a team of people, total strangers even, because I am feisty and have attitude."

I can't help feeling this guy is on the show to just be cannon fodder for Sir Al. He'd be my choice for going home at the end of week 1 (I even think an estate agent will out perform him!)

"He believes that business is a cut throat, dog-eat-dog game that you must play to win."......yeah....that's why he became...erm....a science teacher...

"I am not all talk... I can manage a team of people, total strangers even, because I am feisty and have attitude" he said as he patrolled the year 5 playground with his mug of coffee.

I know that thing on his head is a wig. His TMG is 2 weeks with a challenge of 3 weeks.

I personally think you are all wrong, I have heard he is actually Head of Science in a secondary school, I would like to see some of you teach 11 - 16 year olds! Let alone manage a Key subject! Lots of people think teaching is a walk in the park, but its not. Clearly this shows management skills and being able to deal with a variety of people!
Maybe you should go and look at some of the other contestant before making fickle judgements, like is he wearing a wig, grow up! Its a business competition not a beauty show! :) xxx

I have known Noorul for a number of years both as a friend and as a colleague. I agree with PrincessLJW, in that, if half of the people making comments against teachers actually survived a day teaching WITHOUT complaining then and only then can you make comments about it being an easy profession!! Noorul does NOT wear a wig! and although he can be an incredibly irritating person i love him to bits and can't wait to watch his debut next week!! Go Nora!! xxx

He has never actually worked as a head of science because he went on the show before he could take up the post. Who knows, therefore, whether or not he'd be any good at the job? He's well known for upsetting folk by opening his gob before he's thought about what to say, apparently.
