Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Stephen Crabb (Conservative). It was answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) on Thursday, 16 March 2006 on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills.


Science

Question
If she will make a statement on the teaching of science in secondary schools.
Answer

The chief inspector's latest annual report shows that the quality of science teaching and learning is good or better in nearly three quarters of secondary schools. We are improving that teaching and learning further by making the school science curriculum more engaging; improving teacher recruitment; providing more and better professional development; and introducing a new statutory entitlement to study science programmes leading to at least two GCSEs.
