Choice in Education (3)

Grammar schools should be abolished and a lottery admissions system introduced to make education in England fairer for all, says a government-funded report.

Basically this seems to say that because selection encourages differences, it should be abolished. That's a classic Stalinist approach. How about the alternative of providing extra support to those suffering from disadvantage?

Then you might level up instead of just levelling down.
