Growing numbers of primary schools are failing to teach children to write a proper sentence using commas or tackle basic arithmetic in their heads, primary school league tables published today show.

In just under 900 primaries – 100 more than last year – the majority of pupils leave without mastering these skills, which are expected of their age group, analysis of the data reveals.

Thing i don't understand is with over 10 years of this going on why do they keep on doing it, it doesn't actually save any money and you end up with really bad service.

Even though the mantra may be "to improve the customer experience", the managers that make the decisions to outsource are not the ones that have to deal with the day-to-day running of the projects affected.

I'm guessing that by outsourcing, these big companies can squeeze the outsourcers for price, particularly in this climate.
