Widening education standards

The facts are there is a widening gap between opportunities for richer families and those who earn less.  The Government has devalued exams so much that independent schools are abandoning the GCSE for higher quality exams but the Government will not let state schools do these exams.

The Conservatives we will reverse the devaluation of exams. We will make it easier to set up new academies especially in poorer areas, make it easier for them to hire great teachers and we will make it easier for talented people to become teachers.

Cllr Andy Morgan, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Bolton South East said “I will campaign during the run up to the election to ensure that every child in Bolton South East can rightly expect a first class education irrespective of post code.”
