To: GOVERNMENT - NICKY MORGAN, EDUCATION SECRETARY
We want world class education for our kids
Please engage teachers and schools to ensure that they support governments initiative of measuring and improving education attainment of our children.
Why is this important?
We support government's initiative to secure our kids' future, where they have to face global competition in the job market. We support the Education department that there needs to be a mechanism that can be used (a) to identify children needing more help and support in literacy and mathematics and (b) to identify schools that are not performing at expected level.
It is important that kids enjoy their time at the school and learn variety of skills. However what's even more important is that they excel at core skills of reading, writing and maths - the foundations of any higher education that they need to be able to compete in this increasingly global workforce.
We would like the government to increase their efforts in ensuring that teachers' concerns listened to and addressed, but not losing the focus on overall objective.
