Voice of Change
The Labour Party
This Labour party makes it clear, our education system is 'vital' to British society. This is complimented by their pledge to keep our education system at the heart of their plans for 'real change', promising free education to everyone throughout their lives.
Labour will make sure schools -
Radically reform early years provisions
Are properly resourced with increased long-term funding
Labour will ensure -
Pupils are taught by a qualified teacher
An end to ‘high stakes’ testing culture
Every school is open for a full five days a week
We will ‘poverty-proof’ schools
Maximum class sizes of 30 for all primary school children.'
We will end the fragmentation and marketisation of our school system by bringing free schools and academies back under control of the people
'fairness and sustainability in further education'
Labour's university plans focus a theme of 'reform'. Blaming free market forces and tuition fees for failure within our higher education system
Boldly, they plan of 'fundamentally rethinking' many major aspects of our University system from the ground up
We will rethink the assessment of research and teaching quality - develping a new funding formula for higher education that:
Widen access to higher education
Ensures all public HE institutions have adequate funding
Politics..
The art of possible
