The introduction of so called 'free schools'

As the Government create a 'free school' system for all middle class parents to set up in their own large homes. So under the new plans as tax payers we will be paying for individual parents and children creating their own schooling structure and content.

In the times of spending cuts, is this the most cost effective way of schooling and teaching our children. I guess the really question will be the cost per student. Will each child get an individual laptop / computer, how about day trips, parents currently have to pay a contribution will this continue under this 'Private free  school' system.

So the government is privatising the education system, as the so called 'free school' systems starts private business can start running Britain's education systems. So just think your child could soon be going to your local Coca Cola academy or your local Starbucks education centre.

Government sets out how to establish 'free schools'

The government in England is setting out how parents, teachers, charities and other groups can apply to set up their own "free school".

Free schools will be independent but funded by central government.

Ministers will launch an online guide saying groups must set out demand from parents, the school's aims, curriculum, teaching methods and possible sites.

The National Union of Teachers (NUT) says the policy will create "chaos" at a local level.

The free schools policy is one of the two key plans set to change the shape of England's schools system.
