The government has published its response to the final report of its curriculum and assessment review, won thanks to campaigning by NEU members.
In response to the report, the government has committed to scrapping the EBacc in secondary, a win for our union.
The government is reforming GCSEs to reduce the number of exams. We need to push the government to broaden assessment methods from end of course exams.
We also welcome recognition of the need for greater focus on arts education and a curriculum that represents all of our students.
The Government has committed to strengthening assessments in primary and adding a new one in secondary. They have let the profession down badly.
We need to see Government action on accountability tools such as Progress 8, to make parity between subjects a reality.
To make curriculum reform a reality, our members know that the Government must now increase school funding urgently.
