Such Disappointing Reading For Me

I found it really hard to continue reading about this arms race for a number of reasons.

Firstly, in my mind the concept of 110% scholarships is indefensible unless the scholarship is means tested and for the most needy giving them access to an opportunity appropriate to their circumstance and ability

Secondly, neither the state system nor those from less privileged backgrounds should be being disadvantaged or feel excluded from a system or process. This article suggests an arms race that is adding to the education divide and not one that shares a “One Education Sector” vision where all elements “share” for the benefit of others. 

A One Education Sector Approach remains a driving force behind my works and is more relevant in today’s world
