Over the next three years, the UK government is planning to spend 600 million euros on building 100 new free schools. Included in this 100, are 12 selective specialist maths schools. All of the free schools are to be ran by independent education providers that are funded directly by the England's central government. Independent of local authorities and having more control over their curriculum, teachers' pay and conditions, and even the length of school term and days, they are established as academies. Purposed to be focusing on strong university maths and departments, the 12 specialist maths schools are intended to produce "outstanding mathematicians who can work in digital technologies, produce breakthroughs in applied maths or develop innovative companies."
Such alternatives are important to building a better generation, in my opinion. I feel there should be all types of schools and they should have their own systems and focuses. That would make it way more intriguing and interesting for young adults. Something of this idea would not be passed so easily by the American government. That's what I dislike. The government is supposed to be for the people, yet I don't even see the government working together as a whole to make sure no large amount of people is left behind as we try to further our society as a whole. That's what we're not doing, we're not trying to progress together. Majority of the ideas and ventures are selfish or are only for a specified group that fits such a small criteria.
Free schools set for extra £600m
