Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (UK Independence Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on SATs Testing.


SATs Testing

In this as in so many other areas, smaller or less interfering Government is much better. Will the Secretary of State change his policy so that there is less externally validated testing? We should trust teachers more: they are excellent, and they have the right judgment about children in their care. Trusting them more, especially around key stage 3, would save a lot of money and anguish.
