Robert Halfon: Skills shortages cost the UK billions a year. Re-setting our education system can change this – and boost pupils’ prospects.

Students need skills like resilience, financial education, oracy and teamwork to secure jobs and thrive in employment.

By Robert Halfon MP | 17 November 2021

John Bald: Zahawi’s challenge is to ensure more special needs children learn to read

The education of these children has become focused almost exclusively on dealing with severe behavioural problems, with next to no attention to the teaching of reading.

By John Bald | 26 October 2021

Robert Halfon: Reshuffles. The soreness of being sacked. And how to bounce back.

As a Committee Chair, you can campaign for the things you believe in, speak to the media more freely – and still get things done.

By Robert Halfon MP | 22 September 2021

WATCH: Gibb – ‘Excessive use of mobile phones can affect children’s mental health’

The Schools Minister on the proposals to ban their use in classrooms floated by the Department for Education this morning.

John Bald: Collins’ resignation shows we need Conservatives to apply our policies

Our approach to educational problems is practical, effective, and affordable. We need people who believe in them to implement them.

By John Bald | 7 June 2021

Barnaby Lenon: Why scrapping public exams for good, and replacing them with teacher assessment, would be a big mistake

Exams are the essential building block of motivation.  Ask any teacher who has had to teach an unexamined course to 15-year olds.

By Barnaby Lenon | 27 April 2021

Robert Halfon: I disagree with our Minister. Schools should focus on preparing pupils for work – not the acquisition of knowledge.

As our labour market thunders towards the digital age, we must urgently reconsider how we can support the skills most needed.

By Robert Halfon MP | 21 April 2021

Jonathan Simons: Let’s build on the education reforms we worked for – not tear them down

The first in a mini-series of pieces on ConHome this week about schools after Covid.

By Jonathan Simons | 23 March 2021

The Soviet Union. My part in its downfall.

Arrested by the KGB for bringing in leaflets supporting multilateral disarmament, I was “banned for life” from returning.

By Harry Phibbs | 22 March 2021

The DfE has thrown everything but the kitchen sink at school reopenings. But the perennial problem is communication.

Up against the noisy unions, it’s struggled to convey the safety of schools compared to other environments.

By Charlotte Gill | 25 February 2021

Iain Dale: Davey is the new LibDem leader. But only 57 per cent of his party’s members could be bothered to vote.

Plus: Any Questions, Cross Question, why Williamson and Gibb should go – and why Johnson’s masks policy isn’t a U-turn.

By Iain Dale | 28 August 2020 | 123 comments

The Education Secretary must lead school openings in less than a month. Which is why his Department needs new leadership now.

Johnson will almost certainly decide to tough it out. But he will have a big problem if school returns prove tricky.

By Paul Goodman | 18 August 2020 | 160 comments

Ministers and Ofqual have hospital-passed the exam fiasco to universities and colleges

Over to them goes the problem of sorting the future of an inrush of students brandishing far better results than were expected.

By Paul Goodman | 17 August 2020 | 69 comments

Why injustices to school students haven’t sparked a revolt by Tory backbenchers. So far.

Many will now be asking whether Williamson is in a position to lead the crucial return to school in only a few weeks time.

By Paul Goodman | 16 August 2020 | 224 comments

Nick Gibb: Fair grades for A Levels and GCSEs, and congratulations to the students

We have worked with Ofqual to put in place the best possible system.

By Nick Gibb MP | 13 August 2020 | 52 comments
