NEU shares report of the Council of Skills Advisors

As reported by the NEU, the report provides the basis for a serious conversation about educational change – something which we have lacked for a long time

Commenting on the publication of the report of the Council of Skills Advisors, chaired by David Blunkett, Dr Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union, said:

“Schools and colleges will find much to welcome in the report. It is right to prioritise the early years, right to call for a different approach to curriculum and assessment and right to understand teacher development and retention are essential elements in a successful programme of reform. The report provides the basis for a serious conversation about educational change – something which we have lacked for a long time”.
