A Proper Education | Yes, Prime Minister | BBC Comedy Greats

i just want to punch an idea of you i've realized how to reform the educational system excellent primaries i'm going to let parents take their children away from school and move them to any school they want well you mean after application scrutiny tribunal hearing and appeals procedures just move them whenever they want to i'm sorry i don't quite follow this government is going to let parents decide which schools to send their children to frank minister you can't be serious but it's preposterous why well you can't expect parents to make these choices i mean how on earth would parents know which schools are best which school did you go to aubry winchester was good oh excellent of course who chose it my parents naturally now that's different prime minister my parents were discerning people you can't expect ordinary people to know where to send their children why not how could they tell they tell if their kids could read write and do sums they could tell if their neighbors were happy with the school and they could tell that the exam results were good exam results aren't everything prime minister that's true and those parents who don't want an academic education for their children can choose progressive schools but parents no qualifications to make these choices teachers are the professionals parents are the worst people to bring up children there's no qualifications no training you don't expect untrained teachers to teach the same should apply to parents you mean before people have children they should be trained no that's no problem they've all been trained to have kids sex education classes have been standard for some years now see well perhaps you could do better before people are allowed to have children we should make them sit exams written and practical perhaps both and then they could be issued with breeding licenses oh very drool prime minister no but i'm being serious it's looking after children that parents are not qualified for that's why they have no idea which schools to choose it couldn't work then how does the health service work people choose their family doctor without having medical qualifications ah yes well that's different huh well doctors patients aren't parents dear lady oh really what makes you think that humpy not as such in any case as a matter of fact i think letting people choose doctors is a very bad idea very messy much tighter to allocate people to gps much fairer then we can even out the numbers and everyone has an equal chance of getting the bad doctors see in any case we're not talking about health we're talking about education and with respect prime minister i think that the des will react with some caution to your rather novel proposal you mean they'll block it i mean they will give it the most serious and urgent consideration and insist on a thorough and rigorous examination of all the proposals allied to a detailed feasibility study and budget analysis before producing a consultative document for consideration by all interested bodies and seeking comments and recommendations to be included in a brief for a series of working parties who will produce individual studies which will provide the background for a more wide-ranging document considering whether or not the proposal should be taking forward to the next stage you mean they'll block it yeah you
