China’s schools are testing factories. Why is Britain so keen to copy them?

Basing education on testing is as mindless today as when Dickens ridiculed it in Hard Times. Yet its appeal to British governments – from the days of Lord Baker to those of Michael Gove – is relentless. The reason is simple: it holds the easiest means of central control. It is the dictatorship of number. The Chinese are realising this, but not the British.

  1. You need to help the factory improve its processes, this is also the right time
