Schools

Why can the council not run schools properly?

When Labour where ruining the city (they are now in partnership with the Lib Dems ruining the city) they conducted a review of secondary school places. This review predicted the future number of children attending our secondary schools.

The review currently predicted the number of spaces needed for local children to be educated in the city , however they predicted that nearly 800 children would leave the city every day to be educated by Hampshire county council.

If this current review (see earlier postings) succeeds and the Lib Dems and Labour close two schools, what will happen in the future? There is a growing trend for parents to have their children educated outside the city. Will this increase? Or has this been taken into consideration as it was not previously when the last review was undertaken?

Why do so many parents wish their children to be educated out side the city? What is the city attempting to do to improve standards? In all the meetings that I have attended across the city, not once have they mentioned how they intend to improve standards. This is a disgrace and another reason why education boss, Cllr Milton should resign.
