The general public is invited to share their ideas as the UK Government launches its ‘national conversation’ about the curriculum and assessment system in England.

Professor Becky Francis CBE, who is leading the review, is inviting young people, parents and carers, teachers and lecturers, researchers and specialists, employers and anyone with an interest in the curriculum to submit their experiences of what works and doesn’t work within the system, together with suggestions for potential improvements.

The evidence requested is wide-ranging, including how to give the best foundation in English and Maths; support children from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds or who have special needs; provide access for all young people to a broad and balanced curriculum; ensure all students aged 16–19 have access to high-value training and qualifications to prepare them for the workplace; and whether a broader assessment system could benefit young people and staff.
