Every school should have the opportunity to become an academy, says Cameron
Speaking on BBC news, Cameron said that he wanted to put the power in the hands of “the head teacher and the teachers rather than the bureaucrats”, saying that that is the “vision for every great school”.
Cameron’s appearance on the BBC came after an article in the Telegraph in which he discussed key party plans regarding welfare reforms, the NHS and Education. On subject of academy conversion, Cameron said: “I profoundly believe this is the right direction for our country because I want teachers not bureaucrats deciding how best to educate our children.”
He added: “I want every school in the country to have the opportunity to become an academy and to benefit from the freedoms this brings. So we will make it a priority to recruit more academy sponsors and support more great headteachers in coming together in academy chains. In doing so, we can extend educational excellence and opportunity to every school and every child in our country.”
