Comment on Election 2010 Michael Gove Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families by David.

I very much doubt you’ll get a free University education from a Conservative led coalition government, but if you check their agreement you’ll see it’s kind of on the agenda. The Liberal Democrats wanted to over a 6 year period removed student fees, so I bet there’s some movement in that direction (unlikely to be free though).

Conservative and Liberal Democrat Coalition Government Agreement
8. Education

Schools

We agree to promote the reform of schools in order to ensure:

-that new providers can enter the state school system in response to parental demand;

-that all schools have greater freedom over curriculum; and,

-that all schools are held properly accountable.

Higher education

We await Lord Browne’s final report into higher education funding, and will judge its proposals against the need to:

-increase social mobility;

-take into account the impact on student debt;

-ensure a properly funded university sector;

-improve the quality of teaching;

-advance scholarship; and,

-attract a higher proportion of students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

If the response of the Government to Lord Browne’s report is one that Liberal Democrats cannot accept, then arrangements will be made to enable Liberal Democrat MPs to abstain in any vote.
