The Time is Now
Education is ripe for this revolution. We've got the technology. We've got the evidence that personalised approaches work better. We've got a generation of learners who deserve better than what we're currently offering them.
What we need now is the courage to reimagine how education funding flows through the system. To trust parents and learners with more agency. To create a genuine marketplace of educational opportunities where excellence flourishes and mediocrity withers.
The pick 'n' mix approach isn't about abandoning our commitment to universal education - it's about fulfilling that commitment in a way that actually works for real kids in the real world. It's about recognising that one size has never fitted all, and stopping the pretence that it does.
