@Kirsty Spot on – but this is straight out of the USA blueprint.
Howard's privatisation push (scrapping New Schools Policy, flooding private schools with public cash) mirrors US "school choice" reforms that boost charters/vouchers while starving public systems. Goal? Keep the masses under-educated, divided, and less likely to challenge the elite.
All we need now is to ditch compulsory voting (like most of the US), and watch the systematic sell-off of what's left of our public assets accelerate – no pesky informed voter turnout to stop it.
Education as a two-tier racket, democracy next? Not on my watch.
