Education Bill

My Lords, I hear the expression ““fair access””, but it is possible to develop arguments for different kinds of fairness. Is ““fair access”” clearly defined anywhere? We are turning this legislation on the assumption that we all agree about fair access. However, fair access might be for the poorest children, or for the children with the greatest educational need, or for the cleverest children, as they are the children who are most likely to profit from an excellent education. Can we have a definition of ““fair access””?
