Outsource...not "get rid". Just like education is being privatised through the back door by taking control away from local authorities, centralising control in Westminster (for those of us east of Offa's) who then starve the system of funding until, ta dah, parents make financial contributions to the running of schools. Which of course don't go towards essentials but extras like minibuses....honest. The academy system just supports creeping privatisation. The last school I worked at was rationing paper for the photocopiers with essential services outsourced to organisations like Capita. Nice non executive directorships for ex politicians. And my local MP has just got the education job having been sacked from defence. Roll on Wigan. I always feel better after a good singalong.
