Use of words?

Is "transmogrified" a suitably encycopidic choice of words? It seems excessive to me. --81.107.202.80 15:01, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have now (a) logged in and (b) changed it anyway. I've aimed for greater readability and have reduced redundant words in places. While I was at it I also added a quote and some more references and corrected a foolish error that I had made some time ago. --Lord Matt 15:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So out-of-date

This needs serious re-writing. There has been no Dept for Children etc for 10 months. The page need some figures for funding before/during/after so-called cuts.

Not up to wikipedia standards (IMO) Cannonmc (talk) 14:34, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Have added a citation where one was needed. Intend to come back and update this page soon - have run out of time today. Doctor Girl (talk) 16:45, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have done another small bit of updating. I think I could improve the lead section, but haven't done a lead section yet so I'm working on getting my head around the guidelines first. Doctor Girl (talk) 08:29, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have done a whole bunch of editing on this page today, including rewriting the lead section, editing a couple of the other sections, and sorting out the external links so they actually work. This is the most editing I've done on any page since beginning to work on Wikipedia, and I'm exhausted! There's still more work to do on the page but I'm brain-dead. Hope what I've done is OK but if not please let me know how I could do it better. Doctor Girl (talk) 16:00, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is too ready to assume benefits were significant and well proven. The 2012 report makes it clear they were very serious methodoiogical weakness in the evaluation especially the lack of a randomised control group. That report talks of 'modest' benefits, language not reflected here. In terms of the original aims, no benefit at all in educational attainment has been demonstrated, a pretty fundamental issue surely in terms of life chances. A more objective view is needed.
