An excellent, and devastating report which rings true - from someone who was involved in the action…..
Institute for Government@instituteforgov

[NEW REPORT] Disagreements between No.10 and the Department for Education particularly hampered the government's handling of education during the pandemic, and a mistrust of local authorities saw ministers seek to control what happened in 24,000 schools instituteforgovernment.org.uk/publications/s…

@RisuToInu There’s a core curriculum that is now non-negotiable for ITTE. It has a definite ‘evidence-based’ slant in favour of narrow teaching, learning & behavioural approaches. We are told we can add to it. It’s like saying all arts & sport in a school would have to be extra-curricular.

New @prospectunion blog: "Just like Premier League clubs, English schools are now subject to narrow control by businessmen": prospect.org.uk/news/just-like… Anyone looking at these structures objectively would wonder why private control of the type seen at Future Acads+others is allowed.

Think Ofsted have stepped over the bounds. Very much now telling schools how to teach and how to structure its teaching and curriculum. Professional autonomy goodbye. I don’t think they should be telling us how to teach, it’s role is to assess the impact of our work.

School: On our made-up GCSE assessment, marked against our made-up grade boundaries, student x got a B. Ofqual: Well, in our made-up view of your made-up GCSE assessment, we think the student deserved a D. 😕 schoolsweek.co.uk/gcse-and-a-lev…

Are we sending in govt inspectors to scrutinise the work of nurses, GPs, surgeons, scientists, firefighters, MPs, police officers etc at the moment? Or are we accepting that they have enough on their plate dealing with a pandemic and need to be left to get on with it?

Priti Patel speaking about Covid testing in schools in January: “We are working with local education authorities.” No acknowledgement that their heart has been ripped out by the move to academies.

And they’re still ploughing on with their merry little plan to have children and young adults sitting GCSEs/BTechs/A Levels in the summer. It’s beyond nuts.

Does anyone think it is OK to let kids still sit GCSEs and A levels when the pandemic is raging? Because we don’t. We never have. Voices of all ages are demanding students get treated fairly. Watch our film from one of our young activists. vimeo.com/493701510

The exams announcement means we are throwing away the opportunity the pandemic has given us to create something different. Something more authentic. Something more meaningful. Something more inspiring. Something more motivating. Something that recognises the achievements of all.

A start would be admitting we can’t and shouldn’t even be attempting to do so. Put in place alternatives now and never return to a system totally reliant on terminal exams.

The future of education is the richer for Sir Ken Robinson’s contribution. He lifted the bar and changed and shaped a narrative of innovation and creativity for learning and teaching. Let’s honour his contribution by stepping up to his challenge
