Primary School Testing
I would like to see the current cabinet sit the proposed tests for primary school children. I call on anyone who fails it to resign.
The proposed tests are unnecessary and unrealistic, putting pressure on staff and pupils for no clear purpose.

Why is this important?
This is important to challenge the claim that children need to pass these tests in order to have successful careers. Other important areas of education, such as the Arts, have to be neglected as teachers are pressured to ' teach to the tests'.
