Prosecutions Prepared Against Illegal Schools

The founders of three unregistered schools in Birmingham could face being jailed after the Education Secretary demanded Ofsted prepares prosecution cases against them. Nicky Morgan says she wants to "eradicate" schools that are illegally set up with a narrow Islam-focused curriculum as part of the Government's commitment to "tackling extremism in all its forms". Ofsted revealed that three unregistered Birmingham schools were shut down by inspectors last month after they found texts described as "misogynistic, homophobic and anti-Semitic".
