In brief...

In July the House of Lords select committee on science and technology took evidence from representatives of Ofsted, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society, the Advisory Committee on Mathematics Education, and Bioscience Federation Education Committee on science teaching in schools.
