@lievenbuysse @UKLabour I agree that @Miss_Snuffy 's tone is not the right one, but she does make some valid points. She was also critical of some of the CON proposals.

@lievenbuysse @UKLabour Thanks for your comments. To my knowledge, there is not yet a satisfactory explanation to why some academies succeed and others fail, but school autonomy is part of the answer. Obviously, it then comes down to the quality of school leadership, governance and the teachers.

The @UKLabour's confusion on education is no isolated case. In other European countries (Germany, Spain, Portugal) social-democratic education policies failed to provide good answers to the challenges of quality and equity. The Left should seriously revisit its education policy.

@DasUlrike Ik had je misschien verkeerd begrepen. Er is inderdaad veel ruimte voor verbetering, zowel in intensiteit als didactische benadering. Ik reageerde uiteraard tegen wat in het artikel staat.
