"Education needs to move into the 'post-comprehensive' era"-Tony Blair 2002
After 1997 they aimed to create a system built around the needs of the individual child and where power is in the hands of the parents.
To do this, the Labour Government introduced the following policies:
*Secondry Schools were encouraged to apply for specialist school status in particular curriculum areas. By 2007, around 85% of all secondary schools had become specialist schools. However, within the last few years, the new coalition government has withdrawn all funding from specialist schools.
*Labour has also promoted academies as a policy for raising achievement and plans to have 200 acadmies by 2010. "The number of academy schools in England has trebled over the last year to one in six secondary schools, government figures show."
