The British government has vowed to step up its crackdown on “illegal schools” that fail to teach “British values” and basic skills and risk leaving many youngsters “segregated” from mainstream society.

Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi confirmed that the government will introduce new legislation and grant “stronger powers” to the schools watchdog Ofsted to tackle illegal unregistered schools and prevent vulnerable children from “falling through the cracks.”
