"At last our schools will be “set free” by George Osborne. They’ll be “free from local bureaucracy”, no longer run by councils but governed instead by academies, such as the one set up by carpet millionaire Lord Harris. It seems incredible that up until now, no one has taken the obvious step of handing over our entire education system to carpet millionaires. To start with, carpet millionaires are so much more accountable than local councils. At least we get to vote for carpet millionaires in the annual carpet millionaire elections, in which Lord Harris stands against John Lewis and Ted who goes door-to-door selling rolled up mats he swiped from a warehouse in Luton." http://www.independent.co.uk/voices...onal-free-spirit-george-osborne-a6937016.html https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/124747
Hopefully, we'll be set free from the bunch of clowns supposedly running the country. IDS has gone, how about the rest follow suit.
I thought all schools were regularly inspected by OFSTED ? There are required minimum standards in schools, aren't there ? (Islamic-run ones excluded of course).
