Proceeding contribution from Phyllis Starkey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on SATs Testing.


SATs Testing

May I pass on to the Secretary of State the concerns expressed to me at the weekend by parents and students, including a young constituent called Emma Hall, about the quality of the marking and the lack of reassurance that they obtained from the TV appearance by an ETS spokesperson, who simply did not seem to grasp the seriousness of the issue? Can Ofqual take into account the need to reassure the public, as well as the Secretary of State, about the quality of these tests?
