Why Are We Still Funneling Cash into Bureaucratic Black Holes for Schools?

What's the point of funneling millions into an education system that seems designed to churn out compliant paper-pushers rather than critical thinkers? We pour money into endless layers of administration, consultants, and top-down initiatives that rarely reach the actual classrooms where they're supposedly needed. Teachers are drowning in paperwork and targets, while kids are being taught to pass tests rather than to learn how to learn.

My proposal is simple: slash the central bureaucracy by at least 50% and redirect that funding directly to schools, managed by local headteachers and governors. This isn't about getting rid of accountability; it's about shifting it to where it matters – the frontline.
