Rejected petition Urgent cross party review of changes in education

More details

We call for a cross party review by the Public Accounts Committee, including the views of actual educators, of the effects of the changes made by this Government to the financing and governance of state education.

We consider that there is now sufficient evidence in areas that have academies and free schools alongside Local Authority schools for a Review to consider the financial, educational and social effects of these changes over a whole Local Authority area rather than just looking at individual schools.

We denounce the increasing fragmentation and competition, the introduction of business models and the attack on local authorities which is leading to a centralisation of power, an undermining of democratic accountability and will greatly increase the costs of running schools.
