Gove: failing schools should be given Academy freedom to help the poorest
Fraser Nelson: Spectator cover on Swedish schools / Conservative policy
"With record numbers of parents seething because they cannot get their child into their preferred school they need more than sympathy. They need power.

Alan Milburn, 16 March 2008.
