AS (and UK Issues) Politics update: Labour opposition to Tory education policy
Recommend on Google+
Political parties is often one of the most challenging parts of the UK Politics course, and with the first coalition for 70 years, a new government and opposition leader combined for the first time in 13 years parties are certainly in a state of flux (and a topic which therefore what John Reid would call “permament revisionism”).
One of the most high profile areas where the main parties are split is over education. This is a policy area which students have an obvious interest in and could form a significant chunk of material in parties answers given its especially high profile over recent times. This entry signposts some articles on policy differences between the Con-Libs and Labour.
What Labour say about cuts to school sports funding.
How the so called premium will according to Labour results in cuts in spending in real terms.
Burnham on the effect on the poorest students on plans to end the travel grant and EMA.
John Denham justifying Labour’s stance on tuition fees and university funding.
