The problem:
- The Government want all schools to follow the national curriculum, but it is currently being reviewed. It is not clear what the final product of the new national curriculum will look like or when it will be fully rolled out to schools.
- The Government’s impact assessment suggests that schools may need to hire additional teachers or make adjustments to their facilities and resources, but does not suggest how much this will cost schools in terms of funding or teacher workload.
NSN recommendation:
- This clause should be removed from the Bill and the Government should return to it once they have completed the Curriculum review and know the costs and implementation timetable.
