Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Schools White Paper.
Schools White Paper
No, I will not. I never want to see a return to selection. I want a state school system that can promote excellence for each and every one of its pupils; that can set by ability where that is required, particularly in core subjects but also in other areas; that provides special help for those who are falling behind and special opportunities for those who are gifted and talented; and that acts to provide specialist centres of excellence that work to drive up standards in that specialism in other schools. That is not what happens in a grammar school system—it is what happens in a specialist comprehensive school system, and it is what I want for all our schools.
