Improving the curriculum and assessment system.
The Department For Education is seeking views from stakeholders to share their perspective on potential improvements to the curriculum and assessment system.
Why your views matter
The call for evidence invites stakeholders to submit proposals on improving the curriculum and assessment system. This step is crucial for the review process, with the gathered material aiding the panel in making its first recommendations next year.
Note, this is not a consultation; we are not seeking views on specific recommendations yet. Instead, we want feedback on what works, what doesn’t, and potential improvements.
