Royal Society's vision for education
Roadmap for radically transforming the UK education system includes new baccalaureate, teacher CPD and independent curricula bodies
The Royal Society has a vision for UK education for the next 20 years that calls for a broader learning experience for all students up to the age of 18, in which science and mathematics play a leading role, in a system that raises the professional status of teachers and is not subject to continuous change determined by the political cycle.
Last week the Royal Society published Vision for science and mathematics education, which was drawn up by a committee of high-ranking scientists, headteachers and educationalists, and chaired by Martin Taylor of the University of Oxford. Over the past two years, the committee has consulted widely and taken evidence from research to draw up a roadmap for radically transforming the UK education system. The curriculum, assessment, accountability measures and teacher professionalism are key areas marked for change.
