The MP for Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath in Scotland standing in front of a British flag talking telling us his latest plan to balls up the English education system.

Perverse.
And does No Mandate Brown mention the country he’s talking about once in his 30 minute election address speech? Of course not!  But he does talk about:

Teaching in [...]

A primary school in Inverness has cancelled an adventure holiday for its pupils after the mother of a disabled pupil threatened to sue the school for discrimination because her daughter was incapable of taking part.
Rather than tell the idiot mother to crawl back under whatever rock she’d dragged herself out from underneath, Highland Council has [...]

Peter Mandelson, the unelected British English Business Secretary, has announced over half a billion pounds in budget cuts for English universities and told them to protect quality and access to higher education at the same time.

#2 came home from school today with a letter offering him a trip to Arthog for a week.

This trip costs £200 for 5 days – not the cheapest school trip but #1 [...]

Three years ago one of my kids was punished for “racism” at school after he called one of his black friends a monkey when we was pulling monkey faces and making monkey noises.

Liebour’s pet far-left extremists, the IPPR, have suggested that students from “middle class” families in England should be refused student loans to pay tuition fees to make more money available to students from poor families who are more likely to vote Liebour.
They are also calling for grants and bursaries to be restricted to students from [...]

Peter Mandelson, the unelected Minister for English Business and Enterprise, who also has responsibility for English Higher Education, is considering allowing an increase in English university tuition fees.
Tuition fees were introduced in England after Scottish Labour MPs were whipped to vote in favour because a majority of English MPs were opposed to them.  Without Labour’s [...]

 
The British government is putting an extra £200m into the English education budget to fund extra places as shortages have reported.
The extra £200m will, of course, trigger a corresponding bonus for the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish budgets whether they need it or not thanks to the Barnett Bribe.  The population of Scotland, Wales and NI is [...]

My boys came home from school today with their school reports.
#1 goes to secondary school in September so this is his final report from primary school.  The expectation for the average child in his year was 4a or 4b – he got five 5a’s.  A child geting a level 5 in year 9 at secondary [...]

My eldest is starting secondary school school next year and we’ve been doing the school open day circuit.
Sunday was the Thomas Telford School, one of the best independent schools in the country.  We won’t find out until March if he’s been selected to go there.  Last night was the Lord Silkin School, the closest one [...]

The primary school that my children go to has a School Council which gets the kids involved in how the school is run and even how some of the money is spent.

Lord Goldsmith, the former British Attorney General, has told No Mandate Brown that children should have to go through a citizenship ceremony when they leave school and pledge alliegence to the Queen like they do in the US to their flag to promote Britishness.
The Scottish government have, of course, rejected this out of hand and [...]

Getting your children into a decent school and getting them a decent education is already enough of a lottery without the latest batshit scheme from British government.
Today saw the introduction of new admissions rules for English schools that will see English children getting allocated places at English schools based on a lottery system.  You may [...]

According to that last bastion of objective reporting, the Sun, school children are being punished for wearing clothes with England flags on them or even for being dropped off at school in cars with England flags on them.
Normally I’d take anything the Sun says with a pinch sack of salt but in this case it [...]

The British government plans to allocate every 14 year old child in England a unique ID number which could be tied to the national ID database and will be used to provide access to school records for potential employers and the state.

… musa sapientum fixe est in aure.
The British government decided to make learning a second language voluntary in English schools some time ago now and I don’t think we’re going to see the full effect of that decision for some time.
When I went to secondary school it was mandatory to learn a second language.  At [...]

As if getting a decent education in England wasn’t enough of a lottery already, the Brit-Scot government in Westminster has decided that schools in England should be required to take a percentage of their intake from outside of their catchment area with those places allocated by a lottery system.
This means that in over-subscribed schools, a child [...]

No Mandate Brown has decided to spend god knows how many millions of pounds of our taxes on a teach-yourself-English website with a call centre full of “master trainers” answering calls via VOIP.
Brilliant.  Except the website is being targetted at China and the call centre will be in India.
A fifth of school children in England [...]

The One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan has proclaimed that all failing schools in England will get a visit from a specialist management team to help turn them round.  If that doesn’t work then a change of “management” will be instigated and if that doesn’t work then the school will be shut down.
It was pointed out [...]

Primary school children in Scotland are to get free school meals in a pilot scheme costing the English taxpayer £5m.
Parents of English children will still have to pay for their children to have school meals.

I’ve just fired off the following email to Telford & Wrekin Council (my local authority) regarding Al Gore’s climate change propaganda film being shown in schools after reading this list of judgements by a High Court judge:
Hi,
I see that Al Gore’s film on Climate Change is set to enter the curriculum in English schools despite [...]

The UK has dropped from 3rd to 10th place in an OECD report on university graduates – we produce only 400,000 graduates a year now.
What a surprise.  Could it be anything to do with the extortionate, discriminatory and racist fees charged for the 85% of the population that lives in England?  Of course not, it’s because [...]

Telford & Wrekin Council are taking down the EU rag from their offices and replacing it with the Cross of St George.

No Mandate Brown and his band of merry fuckwits are intent on destroying the English education system.
New changes to the curriculum – in England only – include:
Taking Hitler, Churchill and Ghandi out of the curriculum (but leaving in William Wilberforce, the anti-slavery protester, because we must all atone for the rest of our existence as [...]

According to yesterday’s Daily Mail, the geography curriculum in England is being changed to “make it more relevant”, the usual reason given for changing something that doesn’t need changing.
Kids will now be taught “themed” issues like global warming, third world trade and the 2012 Olympics. They will be taught about the impact of buying [...]

University students took out £3.4bn in student loans last year, £386.5m of which was for top-up fees.
English students have to pay up to £3,000 a year on top of their tuition fees thanks to whipped Scottish Labour MPs voting through a bill to impose top-up fees on English students even though it didn’t apply to [...]

The SNP is abolishing university top-up fees entirely for Scottish and EU students studying in Scottish universities.
Scottish university students don’t pay top-up fees like English students do because education is a devolved matter and MSPs decided not to introduce them north of the border for Scots although English students studying in Scotland have to pay [...]

King Cameron of Leftytown is expected to sack his Europe spokesman for the unthinkable crime of criticising the party over it’s latest lefty socialist policy – abolishing grammar schools.

New guidelines are being drawn up by the British government to force universities to take more students from ethnic and underpriveleged backgrounds.
The new guidelines – which will only apply in England of course – will mean that universities will have to take into account ethnicity, whether the applicants parents went to university and whether they [...]
