The charges made in the Department for Education’s plan to reduce bureaucratic burden back in 2020 still don’t stack up.
Former Secretary of State Michelle Donelan made the troubling assertion that:
'good scores can more easily be achieved through dumbing down and spoon-feeding students, rather than pursuing high standards and embedding the subject knowledge and intellectual skills needed to succeed in the modern workplace'
It sounds to me like she was setting up an opposition between good NSS and employer esteem. Handily, we have a way to test that at subject level.
