The Unions are going to go nuts, my Wife who is a teacher is 100% in favour for inclusion of all pupils....

To allow schools to select their own students is back to the old days, this is also extra to the Grammar schools idea

All schools in England are to be given the right to apply to select pupils by ability

The prime minister's plans suggest schools becoming selective and new and expanding grammars will take quotas of poor pupils or help run other schools.
Theresa May says the ban on new selective schools has been in place too long and has held many pupils back.
But Ofsted's chief inspector said the changes would undo years of progress.
Labour says the plans will "entrench inequality".
In a major speech, the prime minister said: "For too long we have tolerated a system that contains an arbitrary rule preventing selective schools from being established - sacrificing children's potential because of dogma and ideology.

Ofsted's chief inspector of schools, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said the idea that poor children would benefit from a return of grammar schools was "tosh" and "nonsense".
He told the BBC: "My fear is by moving to a grammar and secondary modern system - because, let's face it, that's what we'll have if you divide at 11 - we will put the clock back, and the progress we have made over the past 10 to 15 years will slow."
Education Secretary Justine Greening told the BBC the government wanted to create 21st Century grammar schools that would "turbo charge" the education and prospects of disadvantaged children.
This was not about returning to secondary moderns, she said, but about giving parents more choice.

Theresa May to relax faith schools admissions rules

This is terrible. I'm so glad she was allowed to be prime minister by everyone else dropping out of the race and without being elected in :|

Thats how she became PM in the first place.

What does this have to do with brexit?

I can't believe anyone would have to ask.

The ideological right are back in power, despite so many vowing to never let this happen again after Margaret Thatcher (not that her views on schools were similar to this, to be fair to her).
