The BHA have published their response to the government's education green paper and have revealed that "three days before the end of the consultation period, the UK Statistics Authority forced the Department for Education to amend the green paper over the ‘misleading’ figures it presents on the impact of religious selection at ‘faith’ schools."
The consultation tried to argue that the cap wasn't having any positive impact on diversity, when it quite clearly was - the green paper just didn't present the right set of statistics.
Shocking, but not surprising. I take comfort in the fact that I don't know of anyone who was taken in by it and I hope that this bit of the green paper is well and truly binned.
