Genuine school choice seems so far away

With half of the Europe project team conducting research on the continent, this week’s Tuesday blog entry will look sadly neglected. In the meantime, we can take a quick look to the US where a school choice revolution might be finally beginning in earnest after a few faltering starts. The sign of any real choices in education for parents seems as far off as ever in the UK. A recent report that I have compiled of the overseas evidence in support of parents having a free choice of schools to send their children and the British government’s inability to include this in their reforms has been uploaded here.
