Britain’s schools are in a mess. Although British School children perform reasonably well(1) with those in other countries, average standards are not improving (2) billions in extra spending, and a stubbornly long trail of underachievers straggles behind. A couple of years ago, a consensus emerged among reformers(3)councils had too much control and parents too (4). There was radical talk in both main parties of encouraging parental choice as the best way to drive up standards: if schoolchildren were free to vote with their feet, taking public funding with them, new schools would open and (5) ones would improve in order to compete.

That talk has died down. Gordon Brown, the prime minister, is backing away from some of his predecessor’s (6) measures to loosen local governments, control over schools and make them more (7)to parental demand. Tony Blair’ S academies-state-funded schools with some autonomy over vital matters such as syllabus and teachers’ pay-have been told to pay more (8)to the national curriculum and the demands of local councils. In May the authority in charge of picking the winner in the first competition to open a school under Mr. Blair5 S rules spumed new entrants and plumped for the council’ S bid.

One might have expected more from the Conservatives, who stood for election in 2005 on a(9)to bring in school vouchers. Yet the Tory policy group charged (10)thinking deep thoughts about public services paid only (11) to parent power, in its report on September 4th. Where schools are failing, it said, parents or charities should get taxpayers’ money to open new ones. But only 2.9% are actually (12), on official definitions. And another proposal, that children in falling schools get extra funding if they go elsewhere, was so (13)detail as to be meaningless.

Worry about underperforming schools is hardly(14)to Britain： in America, in Italy, in Germany, even in once-proud France education is a hot-button topic. Yet a number of countries seem to have cracked it. Although specific problems differ (15) different societies, parental choice is at the(16) of most successful solutions. What are the lessons?

The first is that if a critical mass of parents wants a new school and there is a willing provider, local government should be required to finance it as generously (17) existing state schools. The second is that if a charity—or business—wants to open a school (18)that children will come, then taxpayers’ money should follow any that do. Third, rules about what, where and how schools teach should be (19)though not abandoned-to avoid stifling innovation and discouraging newcomers with big ideas.(20) public-examination results would give parents the information they needed to enforce high standards.
