Commenting on the Local Government Association’s announcement that the Coalition Government is top slicing local authority grants to fund academies, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union, said:
“The LGA is right to highlight this scandal being imposed by the Coalition Government.
“Local authorities are being financially crippled and the whole state school system is being sacrificed for an ideologically driven strategy.
“Taxpayers should be outraged at the amount of money being poured into academy schools, which do not, according to international evidence, improve academic standards and will only lead to division and segregation.”
