Eton headmaster warns: 'Don't put British children in a Chinese straitjacket'

What the opposition says

British schools should not seek to emulate China's academic system because it is wrong "to confuse league-table success with a good education", the headmaster of Eton has said.

Tony Little warned that British children would suffer in the global job market if they were forced into the "straitjacket" that confines Chinese pupils rather than receiving a well-rounded education.
