Labour edges ahead on education

The Conservatives are failing to win over voters unsatisfied with Labour's record on education, a poll for the BBC's Newsnight programme suggests.

Of the 865 adults in England who were questioned, 25% said the Conservatives had the best education policies, a drop of 10 percentage points on August 2009.

Twenty-seven per cent said Labour had the best policies, a two-point rise.

But an almost equal number, 26%, said that they did not know, a 10-point increase in the undecided number.

Ten per cent of respondents to the Newsnight poll went for the Liberal Democrats as the party with the best education policies, a drop of five points when compared with last year.
