V happy to have this published as part of @BERANews w/ the guidance of @GCzerniawski on a topic that I don't stop harping on about. Only when we value teaching as an autonomous profession-NOT a technical craft- can we be worthy of calling our ed system 'world-class' IMO.

'Labour has been responsible for closing down schools and moving 25,000 pupils out of said schools.'
@CamillaTominey puts Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Darren Jones MP, on the spot over the 105 private schools that have closed as a result of Labour's VAT policy.

*Digital literacy & climate change education
Students seem to be autodidacts in these 2 aspects which are hugely affecting their lives, but we can't just leave them to it. Where's the provision to help them know, understand & navigate these issues properly & responsibly? [5/6]

Glad this research has highlighted the problems that come with increasing the notion of 'choice' within schools đź‘Ź

Social segregation of students increased where primary free schools opened and neighbouring schools have lost students, found a study led by Rob Higham with @NuffieldFound.
Free schools were introduced in 2010 to offer more choice and increase attainment: ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2024/aug/…

Message to all student receiving their results tomorrow, or parents of a student. I’m going to call as many of you to either celebrate your success or pick you up if it doesn’t go your way. Spread the word. Peace

Good. Let’s hope they don’t seek advice from the same advisors the Tory DfE have gone over the last decade. I suggest they might have contributed to the problem. Have civil servants updated their contact lists?
