Dyslexia assesments to be mandatory in primary schools.
To make dyslexia testing a mandatory requirement for every primary school pupil in the UK.
Why is this important?
Students are reaching university not knowing they're dyslexic and not getting the support they need. Grades would significantly improve, for example I get A's in my exams and D's in my written assigment making me pass, however if I'd of recognised my dyslexia sooner I would of done better. Students have sued the council for school's not testing them, this is because schools are meant to recognise it and continue to fail. I therefore believe this clearly isn't enough as so many go without diagnoses and support.
