Sharon Hodgson MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Children and Families, responding to comments at the Leveson Inquiry by the Education Secretary, said:
“It is not right that companies could be allowed to make a profit from running schools. Michael Gove needs to make clear where he stands on this issue.
“Of course, the private sector can play an important role – in providing shared services or by acting as an academy sponsor, but running schools for a profit is not the way to improve quality.”
