Future provision will be subcontracted to private firms and charities. At the same time, the Conservatives are proposing a hard line approach to education, restoring respect and fear in the classroom through a number of measures including a ‘Troops to Teachers' programme, which will see soldiers train as teachers. Are these developments really in the best interests of children? Do we risk compromising the Rights of the Child? In order to save our schools and promote active citizenship in ‘Broken Britain', Professor John lays out his proposal for a Learners Charter, outlining the rights and responsibilities of each child and teacher- including all parents.
