will seek to raise standards in education by creating more specialist
schools. They will create 100,000 more secondary places and introduce a
more formal scheme of apprenticeships for 14 to 16 year olds. Top-up
fees would be used to fund university research. The nutritional value of
school meals would be improved. |

Parents
would be allowed to apply to any state or independent school that could
educate a child at the same cost. Centrally-imposed targets would be
scrapped. Head teachers would be given complete control over admissions.
More vocational training would be offered to 14 to 16 year olds.
University fees would be abolished and students would receive loans and
pay them back at a low interest rate. |

Class
sizes in junior schools would be cut from 25 to 20. The Child Trust Fund
would be scrapped to pay for this. Top-up and tuition fees would be
scrapped for university students - paid for by an increase in income tax
for those earning £100,000 a year or more. In secondary schools, all
core subjects would be taught by a specialist in that subject. |
