Global Current Event: Free schools in England

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-12308512

The education secretary wants all new schools in England to be free. There has been 249 proposals already, but most of these proposals are in the early stage of the proposal process. There has only been one school that has been approved and they are getting a plan set up. The government has not said how many schools will be opening in the fall, but many have begun their admissions process.

I think it's great that they are giving students the opportunity for free education. Some students come from low income families so this gives them the same oppurtinity to grow in their education as it would for the more wealthy families. I think everyone should have an equal chance for education.
