David Cameron pledges to open more free schools if Conservative win the election

The video discusses the role of free schools in the UK, particularly in Hackney, where they aim to teach discipline and self-esteem through activities like boxing. These schools are state-funded but independently run, and the government plans to expand them significantly. The initiative aims to raise educational standards and close the attainment gap. However, there is skepticism about its effectiveness, with critics questioning the allocation of funds and the political motives behind the expansion. The first GCSE results from these schools will be a crucial test of their success.
