Trends in Compulsory Education
Five trends can be identified in compulsory education across the UK: changes in the attainment gap between different pupil groups, rising pupil numbers, decreasing numbers of people entering initial teacher training, the growing use of technology and changing levels of school autonomy and diversity.
