Proceeding contribution from Ken Purchase (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children, Schools and Families Bill.

Children, Schools and Families Bill

I really wanted to talk about academies, but if we ask that question, we find a great body of education theory and practice that shows that, at an older age, children respond better one-to-one and that, at a younger age, they often respond better in small groups. That is the theory behind what the Secretary of State is saying.
