  • School reforms show Britain 'back under union control', says Badenoch - The Conservatives have described Labour's proposals on schools as 'educational vandalism'.

The article discusses comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the UK's Business and Trade Secretary, regarding recent school reforms in England. Badenoch claims these reforms, which include changes to sex education and the introduction of the Advanced British Standard (ABS) to replace A-levels and T-levels, demonstrate that Britain is "back under union control." She argues that these educational changes reflect a return to traditional values and a unified approach to education across the UK, countering what she perceives as the influence of devolved administrations and progressive educational policies. Badenoch's statements suggest a political move to centralize educational policy, emphasizing a curriculum that aligns more closely with conservative values and potentially reducing the autonomy of schools in teaching certain subjects.
