6) Gordon Brown’s vision for education is now on video

http://www.pm.gov.uk/output/Page13664.asp This speech is 36 minutes long, but if you want to be inspired by the dear leader himself, here it is. Among other things, he announces that there will be an investigation into how to increase the numbers of disadvantaged groups going into higher education by the national council for educational excellence. This is a new government advisory body http://www.policyhub.gov.uk/news_item/educational_excellence07.asp and I’m sure they’d be pleased to hear from The Brightside Trust. Meanwhile, the Conservative’s continue to develop their vision for schools http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/11/09/ntories109.xml
