why did the british policies of education fail
Answers
Answer:
Education should be the gateway to social mobility and a core tool in breaking the poverty cycle. Where there are difficulties with family life, where there is a lack of aspiration in the community and where life skills are absent, our schools should help children and young people plot a new course. Yet for too many primary and secondary school pupils in the most deprived areas, our education system continues to fall far short of this. Educational underachievement in these communities remains a national crisis; its urgent reversal must be a central mission of those in government.
Answer:
A lack of funding and investment, pressures on resources, and increasing pupil numbers are of course part of this problem. However, also contributing to the pressures pupils and teachers face – and endemic within the UK system – is the focus on insecure competition. Yet insecure competition is something we can change.
