The Government must get to grips with graduate oversupply

Fresh thinking on vocational and technical education is a good start, but fundamental questions about higher education and the state’s role in it remain.

Graham Brady: Let technical and vocational schools fulfil their potential by allowing them to select

Tailoring teaching to children’s needs and interests works in every type of education. Why restrict the benefits of selection?

John Penrose: Why we need a new rule to balance the budget

This fiscal rule would leave governments free to borrow for infrastructure investments – but day-to-day spending would be paid through your and my taxes.

Robert Halfon: Do Barwell’s bean-counters lack the vision to see why Tories must campaign for social justice?

Plus: why John Bald is wrong to be critical on this site of the Education Select Committee’s report on school exclusions.

John Bald: Schools are still failing to exclude bullies

The perpetrators of school violence and disruption inflict more harm on the education of other pupils, and to the morale of teachers, than they do on themselves.

Justin Tomlinson: Childhood obesity. As this World Cup rolls on, it’s time for real solutions – more sport, not political gestures

We need to allocate funds from the Sports Premium and the Sugar Tax to open up school sports facilities and playing fields.

Robert Halfon: What Hunt has done for the NHS, Hinds must do for schools. We need textbooks, not tanks.

Plus: beware of claims that we’ve reached Peak Corbyn. Don’t raise fuel duty. Scrap hospital car parking charges. And: Hands keeps his promises.

Gyimah must look beyond universities to tackle student welfare challenges

From schools at one end to the job market at the other, many of the driving forces behind the campus mental health crisis aren’t vice-chancellors’ to solve.

Sean Malkeson: Why the Year of Engineering should matter to Conservatives – and are we making the most of it?

As the son of a plumber who ran his own local business for several decades, I know that such technical professions can be extremely rewarding.

Grieve is right. The logic of a Government defeat today leads to a change of leadership – and a general election

Neither Tory MPs nor voters want a poll, but a paralysed Government and Parliament would make one all but unavoidable long before 2022.

Dominic Cummings, NHS hero

The Vote Leave director is the onlie begetter of this cashfest. But we’ve said it before and say it again: Britain can’t tax its way to prosperity – or a better health service.

Norfolk County Council has shown how boarding school can transform the prospects for vulnerable children

Yet the efforts of other local authorities to provide such opportunities have been derisory. Ministers give speeches but the Government has failed to act.

The employment figures tell a “Great British success story” – but that message could be made even more powerful

We must always remember that the remarkable job statistics are primarily the achievement of the people, not of politicians.

Patrick Spencer and Gerard Lyons: Yes, the British jobs story is a good one – but we can’t count on it carrying on forever

A report published by the Centre for Social Justice today outlines four major traps that could jeopardise Britain’s employment miracle.

Iain Dale: Madeley thinks he got the better of Williamson. I beg to differ.

Plus: A crazy clergyman, a bonkers Imam, and unreason on obesity. Richard Holden’s innocence. And: I am ready for Desert Island Dicks.
