Military should run troubled schools to prevent new generation of rioters, says think-tank

A network of schools run by the military should be introduced in Britain's most deprived areas to prevent youngsters turning into a new generation of rioters, according to a think-tank.

The military academies would draw upon the ''unique technical and vocational expertise'' of the armed forces and use it to address poor discipline and educational failure in problem neighbourhoods, ResPublica said.

The think-tank was founded by Philip Blond, a driving force behind David Cameron's 'Big Society' agenda.

In a report published today, the independent organisation calls on the Coalition to back a pilot scheme that will see 10 schools set up in ''Neet blackspots'' - where a large proportion of youngsters are not in education, employment or training - before rolling them out in all local education authorities.

It says: ''Military academies would open up new opportunities for those lacking hope and aspiration; they would change the cultural and moral outlook of those currently engulfed by hopelessness and cynicism.''

Last February the Government announced plans to draft ex-servicemen into schools to crack down on bad behaviour in the classroom.

Instructors recruited from the Armed Forces will be brought in to work with children at risk of being expelled from mainstream education as part of plans being announced on Monday.

Some £1.5m will be awarded to SkillForce – a charity employing former military personnel – to enable the organisation to expand into tough schools in deprived areas.

The move was inspired by similar schemes in the United States where some 15,000 former soldiers have been drafted in to inner-city schools to boost results and behaviour.

The Government also announced funding for a new-style “Troops to Teachers” programme in England to give ex-servicemen bursaries to retrain as teachers.

Today's report, named Military Academies - Tacking Disadvantage, Improving Ethos and Outcomes and Revitalising our Armed Forces, was compiled in the wake of last summer's riots.

It says two-thirds of young people involved in the disorder had some form of special educational need and more than a third had been excluded from school during 2009-10, laying bare the extent of educational failure in Britain's poorest communities.

According to the study, troubled youngsters will benefit from receiving pastoral care from those with a military background.

It adds that the academies will also help students into employment by forming partnerships with defence and other manufacturing firms that offer apprenticeships.

The authors also calls on the UK to adopt America's Troops to Teach scheme, a fast-track teacher training programme for military personnel which has helped over 9,500 veterans into the classroom in the US.

Mr Blond, said: ''Both Michael Gove and Nick Clegg have highlighted the value of military training. Mr Gove in calling for boot camps for expelled children and Nick Clegg's summer camps, but the Government must be much bolder.

''Why should the benefits of military discipline and training be limited to a handful of children excluded from mainstream schools, or just two weeks a year? If the Government is serious about harnessing the expertise and ethos of the armed forces, then they must be far more radical.''

Speaking about the SkillForce project last year, Mr Gove said: "There is a huge opportunity for those people who have served their country in uniform to serve their country in our schools."

After engineering society for the past 40 years, the British authorities will soon be in a position of having a recruiting pool for the new military service caste. School children with sociopathic tendencies, lacking in empathy are preferred. If the scheme proves successful, the scheme will be slowly mandated onto other schools in the country.
