Conservatives Spot Educational Budget Opportunity

David Cameron’s one hour closing speech at the Conservative conference covered many issues. One critical issue we hope can be pursued “I see a country where the poorest children go to the best schools, not the worst; where birth is never a barrier. No, we will not make it if we pull in different directions, follow our own interests, take care of only ourselves. But if we pull together, work together, we will get through this together.”

A further boost was his observation that the educational budget should be paid to teachers to spend and not to Whitehall to squander on Quangos and faceless government departments. So that got the teachers vote. Just one niggle, for a man who wants to get closer to the people especially in the recession
perhaps a £150 M&S suit would have done instead of the £3.5k Saville Row creation.
