Joined up Government
That is, I believe, what we were promised a decade ago, isn\’t it? So the first lines of two stories in The Telegraph today:
Private schools could lose their multi-million pound tax-breaks unless they help state-educated pupils get into universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, it was disclosed yesterday.
…
The number of failing schools has soared by almost a fifth this year, new figures showed yesterday.
None of those failing schools, as far as I can see, are in the private sector.
So, is it joined up thinking to remove subsidy friom what works and to spend more on what does not?
