Report calls for John Lewis style schools

Report calls for John Lewis style schools
The Government should consider allowing private companies to set up run schools in a ‘John Lewis’ style model.

A report published by the Policy Exchange thinktank says that allowing private providers to take over the running of publicly run schools would create new places at a time when there are severe shortages in many parts of the country.

The report also stresses that profit making already exists in large parts of the education system, and also highlights the success of privately backed schools in the USA and Sweden.

Graham Stuart, chair of the Education Select Committee, told Newsnight last night that the evidence around for-profit involvement in schools was "mixed" but admitted that some Conservatives would like to see the for-profit sector take a bigger role in education.
