Business question from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 April 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

School league tables have just been published and yet again we see wide dispersion of performance between schools and a fairly wide dispersion between schools with similar social composition. I am absolutely convinced that the crucial factor for success in schools is teaching methods and classroom regimes, yet we still seem reluctant to address them directly. Will my right hon. and learned Friend make space for a debate on teaching methods, to make sure that all our children have the best possible advantages when in school?
