Circular 10/70
Circular 10/70 was an attempt by Margaret Thatcher as Secretary for Education in 1970 to reverse the effects of Circular 10/65 (sometimes called the Crosland Circular since it was issued by Anthony Crosland as Secretary for Education under Wilson in 1965) and Circular 10/66.
The first circular recommended to LEAs to begin the process of conversion to full comprehensive education, in line with Labour government's wishes on the transition to a national comprehensive system. The second circular said that no funding would be given for new non-comprehensic schools.
Circular 10/70 allowed LEAs to decide the future of Secondary Education in the area under their authority independently of central government.
Controversy
Although Thatcher did her best to show that she was not trying to discourage comprehensive education as a system, the withdrawal of 10/65 sparked some notable controversy.
The National Union of Teachers was concerned about the implications of the withdrawal and the lack of consultation which had taken place before the decision: "On the implications of circular 10/70 itself, the deputation expressed the view that it represented an encouragement to local authorities opposed to comprehensive education, and an endorsement of selection at eleven"

Circular (album)
Circular is the second studio album by Spanish singer Vega, released on February 27, 2006 (see 2006 in music) by Universal Music Spain.
History
After her album, India, Vega switched from Vale Music to Universal Music Spain and started working on her second album. Once again, every song on it, except for "Eres" (Café Tacvba cover), were written by her. The first single off Circular was "Una Vida Contigo" (Spanish for A Life with You).
Circular: Cómo Girar Sin Dar La Vuelta
Due to the poor sales of the album, Vega went back to the studio and reworked the songs on her second effort, and also recorded two new songs: "Y Llueve" (Spanish for And It Rains) and "Clave De Sol". Both songs, along with the reworked versions of Circular, were then released as "Circular: Cómo Girar Sin Dar La Vuelta" (Circular: How To Spin Without Turning Around) on March 26, 2007. After releasing "Y Llueve" as the second single, both Vega and the label gave up promotion for the album, and she went on to concentrate on her future projects.
