CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT + NEW LABOUR
Academies
2012 - all schools were encouraged to become academies
Funding was directly from the government
Academies were given control over curriculum
68% of all secondary school converted to Academies
Free Schools
Funded by the government but set up my parents, teachers, faith organisations/businesses
Allows parents to have power - if unhappy with state schools in their area they can create these free schools
Allen
- only highly educated families benefit from free schools
Policies to reduce inequality
FSM + Pupil Premium
(tackles the underachievement 'caused' by material deprivation
Ofsted
- found pupil premium is not spent on those who it is supposed to help
Austerity programme
= cut spending on school buildings by 60% - tuition fees tripled to £9,000
Fragmented centralisation
Ball
- promoting free schools and academies = increased fragmentation over educational services
E.g. system being replaced by private providers leads to greater inequality in opportunities
Cameron
- aim of coalition government = 'excellence and competition'
Policies to reduce inequality
Education Action Zones
- local education + local businesses would tackle deprived areas of those disadvantages - e.g. money for IT equipment + better quality teachers
EMA - Education manitenance Allowance
- encouraged lower income students to stay on after age 16 - payments
Policies to promote diversity
promoted academies as a policy for raising achievement + plans to have 200 academies by 2010 - most academies were under-performing schools but academy status will raise the achievement of w/c pupils
New labour
- 1997-2010 - introduced policies to reduce inequality `+ promote diversity
New Labour - A03
Ben
- New labour paradox - - introduced Ema's but new labour also increased tutition fees for higher education = contradiction
