Labour's shadow education secretary, Angela Rayner, said: «When even the Conservative -
dominated education select committee calls Theresa May's new grammar schools an «unnecessary distraction», it's time that ministers finally sat up and took notice.
The textbook publishers, who have long
dominated the
education content industry, benefit from that model (my colleague Laura Hazard Owen provides a nice snapshot of that market here), but Fletcher said more states need to encourage the development of content marketplaces by giving schools and school districts the flexibility to
select the content their students will use.
