School Inspectors Want New Powers to Tackle Faith Schools that ‘Clash with British Values’

Ofsted also said it is a problem that there is no requirement to register home-schooled children

Britain’s school inspection body is demanding new powers to tackle conservative faith schools that spread beliefs that “clash with British values”.

Ofsted claims in its annual report that an increasing number of religious schools teach a curriculum that undermines tolerance and respect, and says that its work is being hampered as there is no legal requirement to register children as home-schooled.

Amanda Spielman, the group’s head, said spreading “shared values” would be one of Ofsted’s main priorities for the coming year.

“Current legislation is inadequate to tackle unregistered schools. It limits our powers and allows institutions to exploit loopholes about definitions of education,” the report says.

“The existence of unregistered schools is possible because there is no requirement to register a child as home educated, so there is no record of children who have never been in school.”

Ofsted also said that a number of independent schools judged inadequate or in need of improvement were “highly conservative” Christian, Jewish and Muslim schools.

“In some of these schools, the premises are unsafe or squalid,” the report says. “The most basic checks are not always in place. Inspectors have also found sexist and sectarian literature in some schools.

Freedom is being able to raise your kids the way you want.

Currently only liberals have this freedom. They dont want anyone else to have that freedom.

Its another reason why the more intelligent people have not had kids. Its a total control angle by the state and libtards bent on perverting the world. Just one mre way they control you.

Some opt out and say i decline to paticipate.

Surrendering the future is a poor response to tyranny.

We need to run 100,000 Brits thru Marine infantry training at Camp Pendleton. Then give each a rifle and a thousand rounds of ammo and land them on Britian’s shores. Within a week, the British wimps will surrender.

I’m going out on a limb here by guessing the focus will be on Christian and catholic schools.
