Remember they're the ones that introduced so-called parental choice of schools and look what a disaster that's turned out to be with record number of appeals and uncertainty for children as they chase places in oversubscribed schools whilst others have spaces or are closed . It was always an illusion to think there was that freedom to choose. Now in Sweden these new schools that have been set up whenever parents get fed up with the neighbouring school are causing huge problems for the state system AND standards are going down according to Swedish educationalists. Just as the Tories think it's a wonderful idea. Same old Tories, always messing up! Same old Tory nonsense about free market solutions.
