The Facts of Life

Earlier this week, Ed Balls, the Education Secretary (that isn't what he calls himself but it is essentially what he is) announced that 15 year olds will have to have mandatory sex education. Cue howls of anguish from the likes of the Catholic Church and various Muslim groups who promised to fight the proposals. Now I am no fan of Mr Balls, as a very cursory inspection of this site will quickly reveal....

Whose authority?

By Justin Thacker, Guardian When is a right not a right? When it concerns the education of children. The respective (and entirely contradictory) decisions of the children’s secretary Ed Balls and the European Court of Human Rights this week would be laughable if they weren’t both so serious.

Ridiculous rules for home schools | Annabel Wynne

My six-year-old daughter is educated by me, at home. Are we about to become the state's latest scapegoats? Today, I received a copy of a letter that my local MP sent to the education secretary, Ed Balls. This letter was prompted by my concerns about the Badman report , a review into home-education which was submitted in June and immediately accepted by Balls.

Got kids? then you should read Michael’s speech

The press and the media criticise Conservatives for lack of policy detail, wrongly in my view, it’s persistent warped spin from Labour that’s uncritically accepted by the left-leaning media.
