HappyMaz Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 OK so I'm wading my way through the Lib Dems manifesto. Here's what I've found so far Will support existing childcare funding arrangements, but are committed to providing 20 hours' free provision for children aged 18 months Support providers to encourage more men into the profession Will replace the EYFS with a "slimmed down framework which includes a range of educational approaches and enough fl exibility for every young child". If you want to have a look for yourself you can find their manifesto here. Will be back later! Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 And here's more:- More money for schools to cut class sizes (average size for primary school would be 20) and provide one to one tuition for children who need extrra support Axe the rigid National Curriculum, and replace it with a "slimmed down ‘Minimum Curriculum Entitlement’ to be delivered by every state-funded school." Bring in Education Freedom Act which will prevent politicians interfering with the day-to-day running of schools and reduce the size of the DCSF and the areas it controls.

Guest lucyevans Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Thanks, I spoted this in the Labour manifesto - not sure if is a vote winner ;-) All primary schools will teach a modern foreign language. We will create a specialist Mandarin teaching qualification, so that many more primary schools have access to a qualified primary teacher able to teach Mandarin. http://www2.labour.org.uk/uploads/TheLabou...ifesto-2010.pdf TES have published a comparison of the "big three" parties education manifestos http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6040697 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
