Voting deadline: August 2442
Description[?]:
| In order to allow all children of school age to be guaranteed a suitably high level of education, without the requirement of extra expenditure from parents in order to provide for said education, the Government will provide publicly funded state schools. These schools will be required to maintain high educational standards, guaranteed through the teaching of the National Curriculum and by teaching assessments before and during teachers careers, in order to allow for all pupils to reach their full potential. Teaching assessments of teachers will be carried out every 5 years to guarantee that teachers are maintaining high quality teaching. 5 yearly increments will be used in order to guarantee that an individuals abilities are not severely hampered by individual problems with individual pupils. Pupils who are found to have abilities in certain areas of education will be allowed to be "fast-tracked" through those areas of their education, with the introduction of specialist "centres of excellence" which will allow those pupils, with permission from their teachers and guardians, to be accepted for accelerated learning classes within these centres. Places for all children at state funded schools will be guaranteed. Private, non-government funded educational establishments will be operated by the Private sector. These institutions will have the same regulations as currently enforced (National Curriculum, etc) but will also be allowed to provide additional classes, should the school believe it necessary, allowing choice for the guardians of pupils to make decisions on their childs education without further government interference. |
