Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on SATs Testing.
SATs Testing
I just explained to Liberal Democrat colleagues why I disagree with the approach that the hon. Gentleman sets out. I should like Making Good Progress to lead to more teacher discretion, but it would not be right for parents to move away from externally validated tests. I disagree with him, and believe that the information from the tests is a very important part of our drive to raise standards in primary and secondary schools. On this matter, we will have to agree to disagree.
