Parent Power: Sack Headteachers If Brit Students' Fare Badly In School
Ed Balls, Schools Secretary, said parents could complain about leadership at their local secondary school to trigger council action and new "accredited" superheads could be hired to run schools.
"It's right that parents drive change where it is needed, so this is our offer to parents: if your child is falling behind in the three-Rs we will guarantee them extra help," The Telegraph quoted Balls as saying.
"And if your local schools are not doing well enough, and if you are dissatisfied with the progress your local school is making, you will be able to demand change and get a new and quality-guaranteed provider," Balls added.
But the plans seemed to have failed to impress all, with some critics questioning the viability of the proposals.
John Dunford, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "Headteachers and senior staff will be extremely concerned at the Prime Minister's latest version of parent power. Such a process will destabilise a school, which may be in the process of making unpopular changes in order to improve its performance.
