If Balls wants better schools, he must scrap faith selection | Comment | Guardian Unlimited Politics: "Here is what the IPPR study found, to the rage of the Mail on Sunday: faith schools that administer their own admissions policies are 10 times more likely to be unrepresentative of the social mix in their area than faith schools where the local authority is the admissions authority. Non-religious schools that are allowed to administer their own admissions (academies and foundations) are six times more likely to be unrepresentative of their areas."
