He has, however, never said what he would do to improve our schools. On what we do need – more freedom for heads, more strong discipline, more pay for good teachers – there is no clarity. Amid all the confusion there is only one firm commitment I can discern. Labour will censor information in league tables and abolish the English Baccalaureate measure of good exam passes in the subjects students need to get to good universities. It will thus make it more difficult for students to get on in life and more difficult for us all to see which schools are succeeding and which need help. But this censorship of exam data will make one thing easier – it will enable Labour to resume the debasement of exams that we have now started to reverse.
