Committee report looks at foundations of education system
7 April 2010 (updated on 22 April 2010)
The Children, Schools and Families Committee today publishes its report examining the foundations of the education system
- Report: Baker to Balls: the foundations of the education system (PDF)
- Children, Schools and Families Committee
Over twenty years have elapsed since the passing of the Education Reform Act 1988, which underpins so much of what schools do today.
The purpose of this short report is to draw attention to some of the themes which unify the Committee’s reports on:
- the National Curriculum
- national testing and assessment
- accountability structures
- the training of teachers
The report also provides a little historical context.
