| Descripción: | I have always been interested in the twists and turns of education policy. It’s tempting to dismiss a lot of it scornfully, as the ravings of some semi-informed nutters. But the hard reality is that education is a very difficult area of policy and one in which it is hard to make an impact quickly. The political cycle (4 years) frequently demands quicker results than can be produced – and few education ministers progress to serious high office. Thatcher I suppose has to be considered an exception. But her education policy is itself revealing. If there is a single political idea with which she will forever be associated, it is ‘privatisation’. Her central belief was that governments should not run utility companies – since she believed they could be more efficiently run in the private sector. Based on this political belief she oversaw the most enormous sell-off of state assets (telephone/gas/water etc) and her successor then sold off the railways. She was an absolute privatiser. But what of her education policy? |
