The Campaign for Real Education (CRE) is a right-wing[1][2][3] pressure group and non-profit organisation in the United Kingdom that advocates for traditional education, greater parental choice in schooling, and less state regulation of subjects that children study.[2][4][5]

History

The CRE was established in 1987 by a group of 14 parents and teachers,[6] although it was effectively a one-man organisation led by Nick Seaton, who ran it from a bedroom in his home near York.[7] It gained national attention after intervening in a dispute at Lewes Priory School over whether pupils should sit O Levels or GCSEs. Two teachers who pressed for students to sit the O Level were redeployed,[8] with one of them, Chris McGovern, later becoming a headteacher in the independent sector and the CRE's chairman.[7]

Aims

The group campaigns to "press for higher standards and more parental choice in state education."[9] It opposes the teaching of sociology and politics.[1][10] It has been critical of anti-racism and anti-sexism campaigns.[10][1] In 2021, the group said a mock trial held by Welsh schoolchildren about a Conservative MP's ancestral links to the slave trade was "brainwashing".[11]
