A Labour councillor said he's concerned government proposals to reform education in the UK would be the “dismantling of state schools as we know it.”
The comments were made by Cllr Stephen Bennett during a Wirral Council discussion of a government white paper published earlier this year. The local authority said it was in talks with schools on the proposals so they can be prepared if the legislation does pass.
The proposed government strategy seeks to ensure “excellent teachers in all areas of the country by increasing the teacher development programme”, “support for teachers to achieve high standards” with “greater focus on an effective curriculum".
