@thewayofkueh.bsky.social says we need to see a joined up approach to education. It’s important for the government to set out how initiatives will connect. For example what will be the way that curriculum reform, following the review, will link up with promised SEND reforms? #EducationFest

Through our Plan for Change, we'll get tens of thousands more children – a record share – hitting key development targets so they're school-ready.
It's ambitious, rightly. Children growing up in our country deserve the best start.

This graph is visually boring, but is completely fascinating to me.
It's the share of people who "believe there is life after death."
It's actually gone UP, just slightly since 1973.
Even as religious attendance and affiliation have dropped exponentially.

In our latest post I suggest 2 primary topics that could be cut - but I also warn against overall reductions of content, as this will lead to lower standards.
