Beats me. I can see the point of academies focused on particular skills, for example the retailing academy set up by phillip green. But basically they seem like a way to boost the ego of the rich at the taxpayers expense. They exist because the government refuses to open up wider routes to allow new providers to innovate. A voucehr system would open up the market for education provision at all levels and not require millions of taxpayer subsidy.
