Education Act 2011
Summary
The Education Act 2011 gives schools in England greater freedom and control over how they operate, including their budgets and curriculum. It encourages the creation of new types of schools (like academies and free schools) and aims to increase parental choice and school performance, while reducing government control over education.

A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry that giving schools more independence could create unfair differences between well-run and poorly-run schools. Some are concerned about reduced funding for education and that disadvantaged areas might fall further behind without strong government oversight.
