According to an article about UK schools in Scotland on Sunday, 9 September 2007, (Alexander attacks 'bloated' education authorities) one in every four pounds of education funding never makes it to schools.
Studies show that of the average £5,160 spent on a child's education annually, £1,700 is swallowed up by local government.
According to Scotland on Sunday, 9 September 2007, (SNP school plan sparks class war)Glasgow and Edinburgh education chiefs say they cannot carry out an SNP pledge to cut the size of classes in the early years of primary school to 18 pupils because there is a lack of money and classrooms.
It is time to close down the "bloated" education authorities. Get rid of the government bureaucrats, both local and national. Sack the education chiefs. It is these folks who have helped to ruin British schools.
We could learn from the Netherlands, when it comes to the organisation of schools.
In the Netherlands 70% of children are educated in private schools at the taxpayers' expense.
In the Netherlands, state spending on education is lower per head than in Britain, and results are better. (Schools unchained)
