Some children are getting an excellent education and that is unfair, so all children must get a poor education. This why they are tightening the National Curriculum, attacking home-schooling, ending Academies and reversing all the reforms that saw England’s (not devolved Wales or Scotland’s schools) schools start to climb the PISA rankings.

Hi,

What if all this chat is just a screen to further reduce the amount of private education? I wonder what the reasons might be?

1) A sense that we should all be in this together

2) A sense that some people are cheating the system and we'll have 'em.

3) Lets stop private schools showing how bad public education has become.

4) Lets stop private schools and Free Schools showing how much worse public education can become.

I refer you to Pournelle's iron law of bureaucracy. The education Bureaucracy is worried about being annoyingly easy to compare.
