- Coalition (2010-2015)
- Academies
- From 2010 schools were encouraged to leave the control of the LEA
- Funding from LEA budgets was given directly to academies through the central government and they were given control over curriculum
- Fatest growing type of school
- Free Schools
- Set up by parents, teachers, faith organisations or businesses rather than local authority
- Gives power back to the parents and it gives people opportunities to create a new school if unhappy with their local one
- Based on Swedish education system - however Allen (2010) shows they only benefit children from highly educated families
- In Sweden the educational ranking has fallen since the introduction of free schools
- Fragmented Centralisation
- Ball (2001) promoting free schools and academies has led to increased fragmentation and centralisation of control over educational provision
- Fragmentation- The education system has become a patchwork of the diversity in provision (greater inequality of opportunity)
- Centralisation of Cotrol - Central Government has the power to allow/force a school to become an academy (reduced amount of control of LEAs)
- Coalition and Inequality
- Some policies are said to increase inequalities however there are some that prevent it
- Free School Meals
- Pupil Premium - Money schools receive from disadvantaged areas
- OFSTED (2012) found that pupil premium was not always spent on those it was supposed to help
- Sure Start centres were closed and EMA was abolished
- Increased university fee to £9000
- Academies
