The Aim of Education

A Labour Government, that started in 1997 with the claim of putting Education at the top of their list of priorities, now has to defend a record of relative decline in the international league and too many 16-year-olds leaving without significant qualification.

Yet I can find no active public discussion on the fundamental question of what education policy should be trying to achieve. There are now so many supposed targets that we cannot see the wood for the trees.

My hope is that by going back to basics and agreeing a set of objectives that are measurable, we can apply sound principles of business management to a huge, and fundamental, public enterprise.

Please help me by contributing your own ideas and criticising mine.
