NASUWT: Favoured academies-free to profiteer
Responding to Michael Gove’s statement that he will stop Ofsted from inspecting the content of children’s lunchboxes, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers’ Union, said:
“This is a blatant attempt to distract the public.
“Whilst encouraging people to think about whether Ofsted should inspect lunchboxes, the Secretary of State is pushing through Parliament a Bill that will allow his favoured academies to charge whatever they like for milk, school meals and refreshments.
“Children’s health and nutrition is clearly a low priority when compared with enabling privatised schools to profiteer.
“This is yet another barrier for some families to admission to these elitist institutions.”
