Grammar Schools No 1950's Throwback, Theresa May Insists

Theresa May has sought to tackle critics head-on insisting her plans for a new generation of grammar schools did not hail a return to the 1950s. Announcing plans to lift Tony Blair's 1998 ban on selection, the Prime Minister argued it was not a proposal "to go back to a binary model of grammars and secondary models" but "to look to the future".
