Over the last few years, a number of important commissions and committees have been developing well-researched solutions for how we might transform England’s education system. So we have drafted an open letter to the new Secretary of State for Education, welcoming her into her role and calling for:
i) A long-term education strategy
ii) Prioritising skills as well as knowledge
iii) Evidencing a wider portfolio of talents
iv) Turning the tide on technical education and
v) Developing balanced school evaluations.
This letter has been signed by a number of other colleagues across the education sector. Education has the potential to create meaningful change in every area of society and following Covid-19, England now has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restack the educational card deck in favour of all young people.
