Proposals from the Augar review will affect chemistry teaching

Reading coverage of the Augar review in the national media during the last few weeks has been an interesting occupation. Prime Minister Theresa May commissioned the Augar review back in February 2018. Following the better-than-expected showing from the Labour party at the last general election, the independent panel chaired by Philip Augar took a long look at post-18 education funding. If you’re a secondary chemistry teacher, what does the Augur report mean for you? And for your students?
