Professor Chris Woodhead argues that the state has failed to discharge its duty: the education system has failed and radical change is necessary. He points out that seven million adults are functionally illiterate and that there are on average 50,000 truants a day -- perhaps this is why 60% of parents say they would send their children to private schools. He suggests that international models of competitive education would drive up standards quickly and reduce costs, but the political will is not evident across all parties.
