Build taller schools and make illiteracy a qualification.

We know education is broken and every new policy seems to make it worse but there are still things we haven’t tried: we will 1. Make higher education work by building taller schools; 2. Improve educational outcomes and inclusivity by making illiteracy an official language and making it possible to leave school with an GCSE in innumeracy.

Set up a Rainbow Task Force to invetigate children’s drawing skills.

Basic drawing skills (and not just rainbows) improvement programme. The experience of Covid 19 revealed the exceptionaly poor state of children’s drawing skills. The sight of thousands of poorly drawn rainbows up and down the country and was frankly a national disgrace. It’s time to reverse the decisions to limit childrens access to art in schools. Sure we’ve saved a few thousand pounds on crayons and paper but at what cost to the nation’s prestige. In the event of another pandemic a Rainbow Task Force will be set up to visit the houses of the worst examples and make the children do their work again until it’s right.
