Grassroots Campaign: School Sector and Schools Laps

grassroots campaign: The follow-up media coverage, a weighty mix of mostly outrage and exasperation, shows how effective it has been in diverting attention, according to The Independent. Labour delegates vote for plan that would abolish private schools Read more Driven by a grassroots campaign headed by Labour Against Private Schools Laps using the hashtag abolisheton, the question now is whether Labour would be able, or even want, to deliver on such a radical policy. Delegates at the party's annual conference in Brighton on Sunday voted to abolish fee-paying schools and redistribute their assets democratically and fairly for the benefit of all children. Angela Rayner, the shadow education secretary, has thrown just about everything she can at the independent school sector, apart from the kitchen sink. But such a jumbled cocktail of measures may mean Laps finds itself the victim of its own success. She is promising the abolition of charitable status, public subsidies and tax privileges, a 7% cap on university admissions from private schools, and the redistribution of their endowments, properties or investments.
