Press releases

These international comparisons may only show part of the jeopardy facing the education system in England.

Teachers must be involved in creating a system of curriculum and assessment which is broader, more diverse, more inclusive and fit for the future.

Congratulations to all students receiving their GCSE, Welsh Baccalaureate and other Level 2 qualification results today.

All students should feel proud of their achievements today and we congratulate them, their teachers, support staff, leaders, parents and carers for all their efforts.

The efforts of every young person should be commended, but the exam is in need of urgent reform.

Teachers, researchers and education experts jointly recommend principles for the Government’s Curriculum and Assessment Review

Teachers' involvement in the review to improve the educational experience of children and young people is essential.

Labour will need more ambition to achieve the education system that all those who work in education want, and that pupils and parents deserve.

SATs are designed for accountability, not to show what children can do.

We are looking forward to a journey of renewal with Government.

More Than a Score report makes the case that learning, not school accountability, must be at the heart of our assessment system.

Time to rebalance an ineffective school accountability system and focus on helping education share its successes and support improvement.
