Nationalized schools will become state academies. Five schools, two of which are in Bristol, have already joined this scheme, and the rest will be able to do so in September. According to experts interviewed by the publication, many educational institutions will prefer changing their status to closure.
According to the government's plan, to receive state subsidies, schools will have to reduce tuition fees and also align admission rules and curriculum with national standards. At the same time, they will still have more freedom in hiring staff and organizing teaching than regular state schools.
As reported by Lenta.ru, authorities in different regions of the United Kingdom are already reporting an unprecedented number of applications to state schools: parents who in a different economic situation would have chosen a private school are sending their children there.
