Petition · past parliament

Test those responsible for Sats provision to ensure excellence in education.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

With the testing of very young children I feel that it's important to ensure those responsible for the tests are adequately monitored so that we can better understand how they might improve.
It's my intention to gauge the levels of competence in a variety of disciplines of Ofsted inspectors and senior staff, relevant ministers, the education department and multinational education publishers such as Pearson. The tests would be set by a cross section of the UK public and be published nationally. The tests would be across all subjects and look at academic acumen as well as emotional intelligence so that we could asses the skills base responsible for educational provision.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking the Government to change its education policy.
