Will the Leader agree with me that if we can get away from the targeting of people seeking to control schools and recognise that different groups in society have the right to aspire to provide education with the support of the people they represent, great progress will be made in this area? It is somewhat of a pity that there was no great attendance at the opening session of the forum but that reflects the fact that many people are very happy with the ways our schools are run and the issue of patronage. This should not be lost on those organising and participating in this forum.
