We want what's best

Article Abstract:

The majority of parents in the UK state that they simply want their children to be happy, whatever career they choose. However, there is actually a great deal of parental pressure on children to succeed, and some parents try to steer their children towards decisions they believe would be in their children's best interests. It is very important that parents are aware of their child's personality and real interests, and that they avoid projecting their own ambitions and desires into their children.

Northern light

Article Abstract:

There are a number of reasons why participation rates in university education are higher in Scotland than in England. Education in Scotland is better funded at all levels than in England, and is held in much higher esteem. Furthermore, there are few public schools in Scotland, and overall standards of state education are therefore higher than in England. Higher education is regarded as being open to everyone in Scotland, where there is also a very flexible structure for staying on in education.

Clamour for grammar as Labour looms

Article Abstract:

The UK's selective state schools have seen a strong rise in applications recently. This is mainly because parents fear that a future Labour government may make changes to at least some of the country's remaining grammar schools. Now, parents who would not have considered sending their child to a grammar school are looking at selective state schools, and primary schools are encouraging more children to apply.
