Making the CASE for good local schools.

Schools are rapidly becoming the instruments of Government ideology rather than places where children can enjoy learning and where teachers can provide an exciting and stimulating curriculum. The extensive powers now available to the Secretary of State for Education mean that he has strengthened his control over schools, teachers, parents and children. In this article the author describes the kind of school she would like to see and argues that we all need to work towards achieving an education system that represents the wishes of the wider community, not just the Secretary of State.
