Bridget Phillipson emphasizes that top exam grades alone do not ensure happiness or health in adulthood, urging schools to focus on student wellbeing and belonging.
Phillipson argues that to combat school absence and support all young people, particularly those with special needs, schools must foster a sense of belonging among students.
In her address, Phillipson states that while exam results are important, a narrow focus on academic success does not cultivate the skills needed for a fulfilled life.
The education secretary insists that standards in education should not only aim for high grades but also include nurturing students' sense of power and purpose in life.
