The Labour Party's curriculum review suggests significant changes to GCSE assessments and questions the future of the English baccalaureate. An interim report indicates that while Sats and primary assessments will continue, there is a call for more diversity and inclusive education. key recommendations include an increased focus on digital literacy, sustainability, and practical knowledge in areas such as finance and public speaking. The review assesses the current curriculum's effectiveness, especially for disadvantaged students, and aims to modernize education while maintaining high standards. A final report is expected in the autumn.
Pupils should take fewer GCSE exams, while plans to scrap Michael Gove's English baccalaureate and recommend greater diversity in the curriculum are proposed.
Despite strong objections, primary school assessments are set to remain in place as part of the national curriculum and assessment review.
The review aims to enhance the curriculum with greater emphasis on digital literacy, sustainability, applied knowledge, and skills relevant to modern challenges.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson endorsed the review's emphasis on balancing successful existing practices with necessary curricular evolution for all students.
