A former education secretary is to chair a review into secondary education for exam board OCR.
OCR, which is part of Cambridge University Press and Assessment, said it will consult hundreds of schools, colleges, teachers, students and experts to develop a series of “bold and pragmatic” policy recommendations on 11 to 16 education.
It will be led by Charles Clarke, who was Labour’s education secretary between 2002 and 2004.
The review, starting this week, will focus on four key areas, including improving English and maths provision and reducing the “assessment burden” at GCSE.
