The coming schools crisis
My personal hope was that expansion of capacity in England would come from the new Academies — Gove has had huge success converting half of secondaries to independent ‘Academy’ status. Except they’re not independent: HM Treasury is refusing to let them borrow. Without the ability to borrow, companies don’t expand: withdraw bank funding, and see what would happen to the economy. Treasury control freakery is alive and well, and stopping the expansion of the very best schools. Pickles’ department jealously protects its power over planning (and that of councils).
But why is anyone surprised or the Department not planning for it ?With a combination of Birth Registers and immagration data, aligned to welfare claims at local level, plus the occasional dodgy Census, there is a wealth of data available with which government departments should be planning resources.
It's hardly a surprise that, a few years after birth, kids need a primary school-place. It's also no shock that, a few years later, they need a secondary one.
Rocket science it ain't.
True, the underlying cause of this peak may be unaceptably high immigration levels, but that's another story - this one is about the demonstrable planning incompetence of civil servants at both national and local level.
( Not really. It pushes privatization for those who can afford it ... and the devil with those who can't. Lack of planning hardly enters into it.
Depending on one's politics...is it a bug...or a feature ? )

It’s the nature of democracy that countries get what they vote for — but in the case of the Arab Spring countries there are plenty of reasons to doubt the ‘democratic process’ so far, and even more to fear that democracy will soon be eroded again. The question that stands out now, amongst many others, is whether last year’s revolutionaries will keep on fighting
Or - how overthrowing the system - didn't. Countries did not get what activists wanted.

"The Crusades form `one of the maddest episodes in history. Christianity hurled itself against Muhammadanism in expedition after expedition for nearly three centuries, until failure brought lassitude, and superstition itself was undermined by its own labour. Europe was drained of men and money, and threatened with social bankruptcy, if not with annihilation. Millions perished in battle, hunger or disease and every atrocity imagination can conceive disgraced the warrior of the Cross'."
