Governors say no to school reforms
Special Report: With hundreds of parents demanding a school for their children the New Journal examines the controversies over the future of education
GOVERNORS and politicians from Camden have given the government’s proposed reforms for education the thumbs down, swinging behind the campaign for a complete policy overhaul.
Camden’s Chairwoman of Joint Governors Dorothea Hackman said: “Trust schools will be divisive – it would create a two-tier system. We can’t have schools picking off the pupils they want. Teachers and governors need to come together on Camden platform on this issue.” Alan Chesters, head of governors at South Camden Community School in Somers Town, said: “They are looking at the structures when they should be looking at improving standards in schools.”
And Holborn and St Pancras MP Frank Dobson said: “Schools should not be allowed to single themselves out. Apart from newspapers edited by people who send their children to private schools and columnists who do the same, hardly anybody supports these changes.”
