More British propaganda in English schools

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 […]

Education is already enough of a lottery

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 […]

No longer acceptable to be proud to be English?

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 […]

English children to get unique ID number

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.
The Education & Skills Bill - which only applies to England, not the whole […]

Te audire no possum …

… 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 […]

And today’s winning numbers are …

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 […]

Do you want rice with that?

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 […]

Leave our schools alone Gordo

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 […]

Free school meals for primary children

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.
School meals in England current cost as little as 37p to produce with the British government pledging to increase this to […]

Al Gore’s global warming scam

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 […]

University Graduates figure drops

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 taking down EU flag

Telford & Wrekin Council are taking down the EU rag from their offices and replacing it with the Cross of St George.
The current Leader of the Council, Andrew Eade, campaigned successfully for the British flag to be put on the council offices a few years ago when the Liebour traitors who were in power previously […]

Free university tuition in Scotland

The SNP has announced a bill to abolish the graduate endowment in Scotland making university education totally free of charge for any Scots studying in Scotland.
Under EU rules, any EU citizen studying in Scotland will automatically be entitled to the same free university education, as will the children of asylum seekers who have lived there for […]

Leave our kids alone

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 […]

Breaking the English education system

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 […]

English student debts

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 […]

SNP to abolish tuition fees

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 […]

We are not amused

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.
Graham Brady produced statistics showing that selection at the age of 11 improved GCSE pass rates amongst all sections of society, especially amongst ethnic minorities.  Grammar Schools […]

Your name’s not Singh, you’re not coming in

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 […]

Britishness Brown interfering in English education again

The BBC reports that Britishness Brown is stepping up his Prime Ministership campaign by setting out his policies on education.
The problem is, the Chancellor was elected in Scotland where education is the responsibility of the Scottish government.  Gordon Brown wasn’t elected for his education policies because his education policies don’t affect his own constituency or […]
