The Campaign for Real Education, established 1987, is a pressure group in the United Kingdom. The groups campaigns to "press for higher standards and more parental choice in state education," and supports grammar schools. Among its concerns are truancy, low educational and behavioural standards, mismanagement of school funding, and "faddish" teaching methods such as child-centred learning.
