The article discusses the latest White Paper "Choice and Diversity--A New Framework for Schools." It aims to complete the transformation of the organization of education which the Great Britain Secretary of State's predecessors began ten years ago and to create an evolutionary framework for the funding of schools in the future. The paper contains both an underlying philosophy and a framework for this evolution. The philosophy is summed up in five interrelated themes, quality, diversity, parental choice, accountability and autonomy.
