The Schools co‑operative SocietyThe Schools Co-operative Society co-ordinates a network of educational organisations and provides advice and support to its members. It gives a voice to the rapidly growing co-operative sector within the UK educational system.
From the Co-operative College.
On behalf of the Co-operative College, congratulations to the SCS on getting the new website in place. It will represent another important stage in the building of the distinct co-operative alternative to the rapid marketisation of the state education system. Developing a powerful genuine co-operative of schools, committed to working to achieve the very best in education for the children in their communities, and committed to achieving that through developing co-operation at all levels is a powerful demonstration of the power of the co-operative model in the twenty-first century. Even better to see the launch at the beginning of the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives. Good luck to SCS and its growth in the coming period..
