David Cameron urges Eton to set up state school


David Cameron wants his old school Eton College to set up a school in the state sector, the BBC has learned.
Representatives of top public schools met the prime minister and Education Secretary Michael Gove on Thursday in Downing Street to discuss the issue.
Mr Cameron said he wanted all private schools to see how they could help drive up standards.
Eton head teacher Tony Little has said the school is looking at greater involvement in state education.
He told the BBC that Eton had close relations with local state schools and was examining "several possible routes" for greater involvement and "ruled nothing out".
