Not really a ringing endorsement

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Ed Balls' dog's dinner of education proposals, or as this is New Labour, education, education education proposals, seems to beg the odd question here and there?

For instance where is the money going to come from for 100,000 private tutors, who seem to come in at around the £25 an hour mark, to deal with the 600,000 pupils the Government is admitting to who are falling behind in English and Maths?

Personally, it strikes me after 12 years in charge of an education system we keep being told is world class, for New Labour to be talking about having to bring in private tutors to bring pupils up to scratch is about the same as a restaurant offering free sandwiches to customers as they leave because the meals, despite all the hype, are poor value for money and leave a lot of people still hungry.
