the kicker here:

this GCSE costs £27,000 per student per year

they're paying this much not to have teachers

I'm trying to find any detail on what they actually do in this thing and I can't find anything. As far as I can tell the AI does ??shit?? and the "learning facilitators" are the "teachers".

Seems to be like an awesome way to get tech millionaires with weird ideas about education from reading too much Ayn Rand to cough up 27 grand a year to educate their unfortunate kids.
