Schools & Education

The UK education system is notoriously complicated with a great deal of bureaucracy at the top end, administrative chaos in the middle, and heroics in the face of social problems at the coal-face. MBA exists to enable its clients to engage with the system without having to become too involved, or too concerned with the process.

But we are often asked for an overview of the system - for an explanation of how it works, or why a local problem exists, or how policy translates into practice.



 
So here is a (very) brief outline of the system with a summary of each stage in the process and links to related websites. We can't cover everything in a site such as this, so please make contact if you have any further questions or concerns.
