By 2022 all UK schools will be Academies
Academies
This is in tomorrows Budget reported today on Radio5 Now the next Election is may 2020 and I do not like this plan. As thats 2 years after the next Election We need a new rule only do a plan with the 5 year term Date from now on. Joey is that better? |
All schools will be sponsored by Mc Donalds, no GCSEs other than burger flipping.
|
What's an academy?
|
Need to hear more on this really but initially I don't like the idea at all.
|
This is absolutely awful.

Feel sorry for anyone doing a teaching degree, I hear they've delivered whiteboard markers to the monkey house at London zoo...

Not all Academies are private, at least in Scotland anyway.
|
But it's a stupid thing to waste money on

Thing is under performing state schools, like hospitals are put on 'special measures' (mainly inner city schools)their funding is reduced (further exacerbating problems) and then they're threatened with closure.
They are regulated into submission, yet as seen recently with the ' Trojan horse' scandal, some schools turned academy are dangerously under regulated. |
..the funding in all schools is being reduced and quite substantially, it's obviously going to make it impossible for those under-achieving already especially if they haven't been able to carry anything forward in their striving to raise standards...at least academy run schools may make it possible to have bigger budgets and may mean the funding that is needed becoming possible../we'll see, some academies are really working well, it's about having the right team/people in place....
|
And for those which don't have the right teams in place, where is the accountability?
|
..there will still be accountability, there is always accountability..anyways, as I say..I'm going to watch with interest because many are working for the children and raising those standards which were much needed to be raised in a way that state funding wasn't doing...we are a good school with some outstanding features and yet still struggling on an ever decreasing budget so academies may be the way of the future, I'm optimistic....
|
I'm not sure about this, if teachers are unsettled and leaving the profession now how will this help?

Ah ok, thank you both :) |
My secondary school is called a "college" and we have to do extra activities after school until 4:30PM, sounds like some of the changes are what my school does.
|
What if the Tories are turfed out in 2020 and the new government changes policy :idc:

There is no requirement for staff or parents to be consulted and so once again, the public and the workers never got a say in yet ANOTHER privatization process. In my world that’ comes under undemocratic privilege by the seats in Whitehall, but the idea of academies was never about raising standards in education; its about separating the wheat from the chaff and putting money in the pockets of the free marketeers who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." |
