Gordon Brown delivered a speech on education today, at Greenwich university. Brown said that 670 schools in England were failing to provide an acceptable level of education. One in five secondary schools will be closed or taken over unless examination results improve. This could involve transforming the schools into privately sponsored academies. Brown also urged parents to take a bigger role in their children's school lives.
It is interesting that this speech comes at a time when indpendent schools are also coming under the spotlight for their charity status.
