Zeinab Badawi speaks to Rachel Wolf, whose New Schools Network backs Free Schools, and Fiona Millar, whose Local Schools Network campaigns to involve parents in state schools.

Zeinab Badawi speaks to Rachel Wolf from the New Schools Network, which backs Free Schools, and Fiona Millar, co-founder of the Local Schools Network, which campaigns for parental involvement in state schools. What is the best way to deliver a fair and excellent schools system? In poorer countries, giving children their basic human right to education is the main goal. In more advanced nations, the education debate is often driven by political ideology.
