Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jeff Ennis (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 30 June 2008 on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
National Schools Challenge
- Question
- Many schools in challenging circumstances in Worsley and elsewhere are already offering students a mix of courses, including GCSEs and BTEC vocational courses. How will schools that are adopting that strategy be affected by the national schools challenge? I have concerns about that.
- Answer
-
We intend that the national challenge will give schools the opportunity to assess and diagnose, with expert assistance, the particular issues for each school. They will then be assisted in putting in place a package of support to address those issues. Schools that are trying to provide a wide range of options will get the support they need and BTEC courses will count as part of the challenge.
