Britain's schools face growing danger of extremist influence

23 Nov 2010 11:41 AM

Britain’s faith schools – and other schools – are increasingly vulnerable to extremist influences, a new study from Policy Exchange has discovered.

Among the problems identified are:

•    Britain’s education system – the Department for Education, Ofsted, independent inspectorates, education authorities and schools – is not equipped to meet such challenges.
•    Current due diligence checks are piecemeal, partial and lack in-depth expertise.  Vital work is contracted out to private companies.
