Conservatives and Education

We will undertake a long-term programme to close the educational gap between the fortunate and the forgotten, with policies including:

  • Building hundreds of good new schools within the state system
  • Shifting the balance of power away from the government and towards parents
  • Removing the obstacles which prevent new schools being established
  • Encouraging smaller and more varied schools to respond to parents’ demands

In addition, we will take a number of immediate steps to improve standards in all our schools:

  • Improve discipline and behaviour in schools by shifting the balance of power in the classroom back to the teacher
  • Ensure more teaching by ability to stretch the strongest and nurture the weakest
  • Look at reforming the testing regime in primary schools to reduce bureaucracy and focus on every pupil’s real needs

By doing all this, a Conservative Government will stop the decline in standards and create the excellent schools our children deserve.
