How are you doing? Late night? Well, here's the latest from Help Me Investigate – see if you can make a difference…
Who funds the New Schools Network? That's the question being asked by Jack Cues, which will become more relevant as the new government looks into education policy:"NSN is charity aiming to take advantage of proposed education policy to set up what are described as ?free? schools. Many companies such as http://www.edisonlearning.net/ http://www.gemseducation.com/ and http://www.schoolchains.org/en/school/cognita-schools-united-kingdom will have the opportunity to profit but who is financing the charity?"
This is a nice investigation to get your teeth into, as it mainly involves looking into the directors of the company. Join the investigation here.
