EmailIt is becoming increasingly difficult to chart the coalition's deceptive attacks on education in Britain, and one scandal which went virtually undetected was a proposal allowing academies to use employ unqualified staff to teach our children.
There has been a notable absence of rightful outrage among parents and teachers alike because, like any good crooks, they are utilising a distraction (in this particular case the Olympics) to shamelessly smuggle through these plans with minimal discussion or negotiation.
The crucial liberty of our children to be taught by professionals is in peril by a dishonest ploy to reduce education standards in poor areas as an exercise to save money.
When are we going to begin defending future generations from the devastating impact of these measures through mass action?
