Free school sites…plugging the dam with tissue paper!

** Free schools site rules to change ** Changes to planning rules in England will make it easier for new free schools to open in offices, hotels and shops from this summer, the government has confirmed. < http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/news/education-21197489 >

Just another knee-jerk way of saving money with little or no thought for standards, facilities or conditions. Anybody with any sense knows that devolving the education system makes for a disparate, disorganised system lacking standards and standardisation. Free Schools ‘…cannot be run for profit.’ but charities (as many private schools are) do not make profit. 

However, profit is just the difference between income and expenditure. Salaries of staff in charities are not controlled, increase the salary, decrease the profit. We haven’t made any money again sir…

This is plugging holes in the dam with tissue paper. Cannot any government ever have a decent, sensible long-term plan?
