		<title>The James Review &#8211; digested</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well &#8211; its been a busy final day before the Easter holidays. Nothing like a 105 page government report to test your stamina!. We were asked this afternoon to comment on a BBC report that headlines the &#8216;failure of the school building system&#8217; but as I said: there is much to be welcomed in the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[After a long wait, we finally have the Independent Review of Education Capital &#8211; the James Review &#8211; which sets out the 16 recommendations for the reform of the way schools are procured, designed and built. Probably the biggest headline grabbing elements are: the much aired challenges, problems and waste associated with the Building Schools [...]

		<description><![CDATA[As I predicted yesterday on this site, there was some positive news on education in today&#8217;s budget, particularly in the expansion of University Technical Colleges and praise for links between universities and these new 14-19 institutions. Education took centre stage in today’s budget alongside tax changes, fuel duty changes, scrapping of business regulations, planning reform [...]

		<title>Still waiting for Sebastian James&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The long heralded James Review on the future of schools capital seems to have had more pencilled-in launch dates than a NASA Shuttle. But we are pretty confident it will be launched shortly… For an industry that thrives on certainty, local authorities that need to plan and schools that need investment, this delay has implications.
