doctors do not let the government tell them how to treat patients, says
Mike Baker, then why teachers dictate that the government is best for students?
If the government doctors suggested that treatment should be prescribed to patients, there would be no protest. If politicians tried to tell the lawyers how to deal with individual cases of customers who would face fierce resistance.
Why is that when ministers recommended a particular choice of school subjects to 14 years - the EBacc, which includes mathematics, English, science, language and humanity - over half language schools English jumped directly to him and changed his school offers? No teachers have the same level of professional knowledge as doctors and lawyers?
EBaccWhen it was announced a year ago, teachers and principals, said that would mean undue pressure on students directly on issues that could increase the performance of schools in the rankings EBacc instead guide them to the majority of program options tailored to their needs.
However, recently published research, commissioned by the Department of Education indicates that 52% of schools have changed their curriculum offer in response to the announcement EBacc. On the other hand, 45% of schools had removed one or more courses or not enough to recruit students to run.
Ministerswere delighted. But why schools proved to be a breeze? The directors are really intimidated by the government benchmarks which place them ahead of what is best for students?
Perhaps the most alarming finding of the research on the effect of EBacc conducted at the end of last season by the National Centre for Social Research, was not only affect students after 9 years, 10 years but few students, who seem to have changed topics halfway.
This allowed the government to the conclusion that the trumpet, while in 2010 only 22% of the cohort took EBacc combination, to take their GCSEs in the academic year (the Last year 10), the equivalent figure is 33%. For the cohort after an increase of 47%.
- However, the speech emphasized the contradiction at the heart of the policy of David Cameron. He said he wanted to give the school "more independence" and that, by becoming academies would be free to "improve the level of form they see fit." He also insisted, rightly, that "every child is different, with different interests and talents."
So we, the principals and teachers, to take Mr Cameron at his word: what you think is best for their students, not just what is going to boost scores EBacc. I understand that this involves great risks and pressures of performance tables to wear, but the word of the Prime Minister who wants to be autonomous. For many students, most perhaps, EBacc be correct. Indeed, all subjects which are to be accessible to all. No, they want students with an aptitude for academic study at a disadvantage from a limited selection of over 14 years.
