Schools for academic, run at a community level.
Local leaders for civic/social education, once again at a community level.
Cultural groups for culture, at whatever level they are able to support.
I hesitate to allow central government or any higher authority control over anything. The Rütlischwur (or at least one of the most popular versions, from a play) sums it up very nicely for me, especially the last line.
"We shall be a single People of brethren,
Never to part in danger nor distress.
We shall be free, just as our fathers were,
And rather die than live in slavery.
We shall trust in the one highest God
And never be afraid of human power."
I also cannot trust government and although I may disagree with the use of the word "God" here, I would rather use a more perviasive non-religeous view of "everything", I still agree with the principle.
People need to take personal accountability for all of these things. | |

I would start by defining that:
Alas, no, sorry but I believe that the community is responsible for education
Because communities as it's currently applied it's a society
divider, not anything for a..
.united kingdom!
Plus in current context it would means different educations... communities of Indians would have X education, communities of Easter Europe would have Y educations, etc... all conflicting more or less.
As one said we're talking about the United Kingdom, it's suppose to be fair, equal, etc... for every british citizen, no matter which "community" they come from.
In that respect I would ask you to clarify your comment on "community".
Plus those "divisions" are quite silly if you think of it.
It could be a "community of teachers" all over the UK, defining a program for the whole country, and applying it locally to every schools or education centers.
How to make that happen: "People need to take personal accountability for all of these things"?
I suggested random ideas such as the incentive reward program, which would lead to less expenses by the councils, and more visible effects + tax rebate.
Could that be a way to make people be more personal?
It would leave total freedom to any citizen: you don't want to do any of the suggested crap, it's ok. You just will stay with the normal tax rate, etc... You would still see the positive changes as other citizen would clean, etc...
You want to improve your environment? contribute little, get tax rebate, see the changes and have "better status" (because you'll be higher level citizens: your efforts won't be useless and you will feed less the passives because you would pay less taxes).
