“A fifth of children leave primary school unable to read, write or add up properly, the education watchdog revealed yesterday. It dismissed claims by ministers that standards were rising, saying they had ’stalled.’ Christine Gilbert, chief inspector of Ofsted, said it was ‘unacceptable’ that 20 per cent of pupils still fail to master basic English and maths aged 11, while one in 10 teenagers drops out of education and work. Ms Gilbert outlined plans for a radical overhaul of the way the watchdog monitors schools, in which children and parents would be able to trigger inspections.” (05/19/08) Link: http://tinyurl.com/6guw4g Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
