From the BBC (with a bit of 'click and highlight to reveal' fun):
The New Schools Network, established to advise groups on how to set up schools, has now been given a grant of £500,000 by the government, it was announced on Friday. The group is led by Rachel Wolf, a former adviser to the Conservative party. The network also links groups to "education providers", including charities and private companies, which would set up trusts to organise the day-day running of the schools.

This is a fake charity rather than a quango isn't it? I assume it has no legal standing so will only get money as long as Gove is at the DoE.
And if £500,000 is all it takes to break the power of the state producer in schooling and eventually lead to education vouchers then its worth it.
One of the few legitimate expenditures by the State is an expenditure designed to reduce the power of the State over its citizens.
J, fair point, according to the Charities Commission website, it was registered on 14 October 2009, presumably by somebody who saw which way the electoral wind was blowing.
D, run that by us again. How about it just reduces its power and expenditure simultaneously?
