The Tories’ flagship education policy to create thousands of Swedish-style “free schools” will not improve standards, the man who runs Sweden’s schools said last night.
Hundreds of parent groups have expressed interest in setting up the schools, which are funded by the state but are independent of town hall control and run by independent organisations.
But Per Thulberg, director general of the Swedish National Agency for Education, said the schools had “not led to better results” in Sweden.
Michael Gove, the shadow education secretary, believes that by establishing up to 2,000 of these schools, parents would have more choice and existing schools would be forced to improve.
But Thulberg told BBC’s Newsnight programme that where these schools had improved their results, it was because the pupils they took had “better backgrounds” than those who attended the institutions the free schools had replaced.
He said: “This competition between schools that was one of the reasons for introducing the new schools has not led to better results. The lesson is that it’s not easy to find a way to continue school improvement. The students in the new schools have, in general, better standards, but it has to do with their parents and backgrounds. They come from well-educated families.”
