Petition Review and reform the Education System in full
Review the whole education system, with a panel of experts in child development, parents and those working in education. This should inform reforms to ensure the system is fit for purpose, and children are taught he skills they need in life; taking into consideration each child as an individual.
More details
We believe the current education system is not fit for purpose, and that the curriculum is completely outdated and the majority of it has no impact on children’s healthy development.
We believe not enough consideration is made for the unique differences of children, which can result in children either masking at school and returning home dysregulated, or causing issues at school. It is no surprise that the number of children with a mental health condition are rising (currently 1 in 6 aged 5-16 year olds, Children’s society).
