Corbyn lays out radical plans for fairer education
No-one left behind with schools run NHS-style

JEREMY CORBYN set out plans yesterday for a radical shake-up of education that will see it run and funded in the style of the NHS.

The Labour leader announced that a government led by him would establish a national education service that would ensure “nowhere and no-one is left behind.”

He compared the plan to the birth of the NHS under Clement Attlee’s 1945 Labour government, vowing that it would “enshrine the principle of education free for all at the point of use as official Labour policy.”
