Wales, time for effective education ...

... (there were nearly 100,000 surplus places in Wales last year) must begin with an urgent need for information from both parents, pre-parents and local authorities ...

... from parents what medium do you want to educate your children with, English or Welsh ?

... from pre-parents (boys and girls, men and women without children of school age), as for parents.

... from local authorities, how many surplus places do you have.

... only then can the recommendations of Estyn be implemented. 

Governors and teachers leaders say the issue is more complex and needs more consideration, this position is of course bullshit ...

... the only complexity is the notion that parents might object to busing children to fewer schools, in a world where budgets are very tight the local authorities might like to extend a questionnaire to the whole taxpaying network of its borough, it might like to offer the existing (complex) option as a fourth option ...

... do you agree to keep the status quo and agree to a 25% increase in your council tax.

... the opposition of school governors and teachers becomes less complex when the people who pick up the tab each year are consulted.
