Victory for UK school data, writes Alessio Perrone.
The campaign Against Borders for Children (ABC) is celebrating a victory after the UK Department for Education announced it will stop asking schools to collect data on their pupils’ nationality and country of birth.
‘This is a huge victory for the teachers, parents and campaigners who stood up and refused to comply with this poisonous attempt to build foreign children lists,’ says ABC’s Gracie Bradley.
