Education Question Time. Working Towards a National Campaign for Education.
Is Ofsted a political tool? Do we need SATs? Do teachers need to be qualified? Are standards falling in our schools? Can academies solve the pressure on school places? Why do teachers strike? Should all schools be maintained by local authorities?
