'Free schools' likely to remain tiny minority

Source; (Mike Baker)

Michael Gove tried to sound upbeat about his prediction that some 16 'free' schools will open over the coming year. However, I think we should be grateful that this project is starting on a small scale. It means that by the end of this government's first term, 'free' schools will continue to be a tiny minority of the total, not unlike the City Technology College experiment of the late 1980s.

If they prove their worth, then it may be worthwhile building on the experiment -- if not, it can be quietly dropped without too much damage to the system.
