:13:35. > :13:39.some schools into schools whth an Islamic ethos, even though, they are

:13:53. > :13:56.Do you think the debate achieved anything?
:13:57. > :14:04.I think so, because we are hnclined to look at some of the deepdr
:14:05. > :14:09.problems with the academy sxstem. The lack of oversight. And `lso look
:14:10. > :14:13.forward to the future. You just saw the new chair of the Park Vhew
