‘Making sure children are safe, well and receive a good education is our most serious responsibility… However, there are concerns that some children are not receiving the education they need. And in some extreme cases, home education could be used as a cover for abuse. We cannot allow this to happen and are committed to doing all we can to ensure children are safe, wherever they are e...

The A-Level pass rate has risen for the 28th successive year. Debasing the coinage. It's what governments do....

Throughout its years in government - from Tony Blair's famous "Education, education, education" speech to the more recent "Every Child Matters" programme - Labour has claimed to champion the needs of the younger generation. For the 2,000 children who are sent to UK immigration detention centres every year, however, these claims ring hollow. These children are torn from their homes, their comm...

This advert appeared in the times today. EDUCATION is about more than shaping and sorting children to meet the transient needs of business. We believe that all children deserve an enriching, life-enhancing education in a local school, irrespective of where they are born and who their parents are.

We have all known that this issue was confronting us from the moment devolution was restor...

Children as young as four years old should have compulsory sex education MPs say today.

I am quite frankly appalled that children as young as 5 will be taught sex education. The excuse? Less teenage pregnancies when they're older. Well excuse my French but what bullshit! Children do not need to know about sex at that age, they wont be having it for ten more years so why on earth would they need to know about it then? It will have the reverse effect teaching children (and possibl...

If English primary school education is "deficient" due to too much focus on maths, English and testing, why are so many children struggling to master basic English!?!

Excuses, excuses. Evicting them was going to be racist, and now it will affect their children's education. The eviction at Dale Farm could force dozens of children out of education, their parents believe. Thus report Sky News. I wonder how the locals will feel? You know, the ones who obey the law and pay their taxes? There are 110 children on the register at the local Crays Hill Primary schoo...
