May tackles education, appeals to Brexit voters

By Elizabeth Piper LONDON (Reuters) - Setting her sights on making Britain "the world's great meritocracy", Prime Minister Theresa May unveiled reforms to widen opportunity in schools on Friday in an appeal to "frustrated" Britons who voted to leave the EU. In her first major policy speech since becoming prime minister in July, May moved to tackle education, which has long divided Britain and often crushed politicians' attempts at reform.
