Proceeding contribution from Elizabeth Truss (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Academies Bill [Lords].
Academies Bill [Lords]
The hon. Member for Birmingham, Ladywood (Shabana Mahmood) mentioned speed and several other hon. Members referred to impatience. Yes, we are impatient because we have had 13 years of failed education policies, which have not delivered for the poorest in our society. Education spending per pupil doubled from 1997 to 2009, yet the trajectory of improvement in GCSE results has not changed since the mid-1990s. According to the international league tables of the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment—PISA—we still have a massive difference between the top and bottom achievers.
