Former Green Party deputy leader Shahrar Ali criticises proposals reportedly being considered as part of the party’s education policy. Shahrar warns that making formal schooling optional until seven could widen inequality and leave vulnerable children without the structured support needed to identify safeguarding, special educational needs and speech or language difficulties. He also brands the proposal for free vegetarian school lunches “authoritarian”, arguing that vegetarian meals should be offered as a choice rather than imposed. Shahrar raises concerns about parental choice and potential conflicts with religious dietary practices. Have you got a story?
