Conservative education policy will destroy local accountability for schools
For anyone with children, worries about which school they will attend will often be a key issue in any discussion about their futures. We all want a good school for our child.

The problem with choice is that some schools will under achieve, leaving children stuck in poor performing schools, whilst others will be oversubscribed leaving disappointed parents. We need all schools to be of a high standard, rather than have a marketplace where those that are lucky, or can afford to go private, get a good school.
