The article criticizes the British coalition government's move to abolish state education via the Education Act passed as legislation and granted Royal Assent. It argues that the new law which allows schools to become academies and provides for the establishment of free schools implements the Conservatives' education policy which aims to protect itself in the wake of spending cuts across the board. It mentions the evidence of failure of free schools in Sweden and calls for alliances to campaign against the conversion of schools to academies.
