Ministers should team up with exams regulator Ofqual and a commission of experts to create a 10-year plan for improving assessment, a former government adviser has said.
Sam Freedman, a senior fellow at the Institute for Government and ex-Department for Education adviser, warned the incoming prime minister that major GCSEs and A-level reforms are the “last thing schools need” at present.
In a new report published today, Freedman recommended a new model where the Department for Education, Ofqual and assessment experts pull together a strategy designed to improve secondary assessment over the course of a decade or even longer.
