Unions versus Pupils

Labour are trashing two decades of cross-party progress on education to appease militant teaching unions.

Who are more interested in ideology than results.

Their schools bill would weaken standards, abolish academies in all but name, and make it harder for bright kids from poor backgrounds to get ahead.

Labour are removing single word Ofsted judgements so parents can't see standards slipping. And the bill would limit the freedom of academies to bring outside experts into teaching. 

It's an attack on excellence, an attack on higher standards, and it's an attack on aspiration. It's deprived children who will pay the price.

Today in Parliament Kemi held Keir Starmer to account for this shocking vandalism of our education system.

Recently Kemi Badenoch and the Shadow Education Secretary, Laura Trott, visited an academy in Bromley. 

To speak to pupils and teachers there about how important academies are to driving improvement in our schools.

You can view the video from their visit here and find out why so many school leaders are worried about this disastrous schools bill.
