CAN someone please explain to me why, all of a sudden, we are seeing Theresa May putting forward these massive plans for meddling with the English educational system and, in particular, the proposal for expansion of pupil selection for grammar schools?
None of this was in the Tory manifesto for the 2015 General Election, so where has the mandate for this come from?
The government should be concentrating on planning and implementation of our Brexit plans.
This grammar school initiative is being put forward as what I believe to be a distraction smoke screen to take the focus off Theresa May’s lack of momentum and progress in planning for Brexit.
