School Reports and Patronage: We will require schools to publish annual reports, taking into account exam results, facilities, extra-curricular activities, ICT resources, and special education resources. We will also deliver better choice, diversity and standards by expanding the diversity of school patronage and ethos. Training Vouchers: Instead of giving block grants to Education and Training Boards, we will earmark a fixed proportion of SOLAS's annual budget for Training Vouchers that empower the unemployed to define -by agreement with their lntreo support officers and acquire their own reskilling needs, and to help fund networks of businesses to customise their own training requirements at less cost.
