| Subject: Idiot Alan Bennett: Public schools are unfair and unchristian & fee-paying schools should merge with the state system Wed Jun 18, 2014 9:15 pm | |
| Alan Bennett has made a scathing attack on private education, declaring it ‘not fair’ and ‘not Christian’.
In provocative remarks, the former grammar schoolboy accused successive governments of failing to ‘tackle’ private education and called for fee-paying schools to be merged with state.
He claimed that reluctance to curb private schooling partly stemmed from ‘unfocused parental anxiety’ about ‘class’ and children having to mix with ‘rough’ classmates.
Bennett used a ‘sermon’ at Cambridge University to lament that children were still likely to do better at a public school than a state secondary.
His remarks drew immediate condemnation from the Independent Schools Council, which represents more than 1,200 fee-paying schools.
It said shutting down successful schools was not ‘the obvious solution’.
In his lecture, Bennett said his objection to private education was ‘simply put’.
‘It is not fair. And to say that nothing is fair is not an answer. Governments, even this one, exist to make the nation’s circumstances more fair, but no government, whatever its complexion, has dared to tackle private education,’ he said.
