This morning The Guardian has thrown its weight behind the campaign for oracy education.

This is an important moment for the oracy movement.

Today's Guardian reporting 60 signatories, including @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social, @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social, and two former education secretaries, calling for Keir Starmer to honour his pledge to embed oracy in the curriculum.
📣 2 years ago, Sir Keir Starmer pledged to embed #oracy in the curriculum. Today, a coalition of parliamentarians, education experts & schools are calling on him to deliver on that pledge.

Repping @voice21oracy.bsky.social at the EPI/Hachette Roundtable on Oracy today. The evidence base for oracy is clear, but it's also clear that delivering an oracy education is a complex, long term project for a school, with teachers’ professional judgment sitting at the centre.
