EVERY Isle of Wight school will be rated good or outstanding by Ofsted — if Tories gain overall control at County Hall in the May election.
At present an alliance of Conservatives, Ukip and 'non aligned’ councillors are in charge.
The pledge was made by Tory caretaker council leader Dave Stewart who said that raising education standards was "absolutely key" to the future of the Isle of Wight.
Unveiling the All Schools Good Promise he said: "Young people deserve the best education at the Island’s 51 schools, and businesses deserve to be able to pick the best local candidates with the right educational skills.
"The standard of education on the Island has rightly been an area of concern for some years and we are committed to ensure it continues rapidly to improve.
"I have been in several constructive conversations with Cllr Chris Whitehouse, who is the council's education lead, and the Hampshire-based director of education.
"We’re confident that our All Schools Good Promise is an achievable target. We’re determined to deliver it.
"But we’re aiming even higher and want to see 25 per cent of our schools 'outstanding’."

Cllr Stewart told the County Press they aimed to achieve the pledge for all schools inspected within the next four years.
Of the 51 schools on the Island two are presently outstanding, 32 are rated good, 14 require improvement, one is inadequate and two await an Ofsted inspection.
