A vision for schooling in 2040 – inspired out of the frustration at short-term and damaging education policies – has been published by a group of leading teachers.
The document envisages an education system in which teachers are responsible for the design of curriculum and assessment, as well as pedagogical development.
It also outlines moving to a new shorter inspection process from September 2015, with the axing of overall grades and the introduction of “narrative reports to assist school improvement”.
Ultimately, it says that Ofsted could be “retired” by 2020 with pilot programmes being launched of “externally validated peer-to-peer quality assurance”.
The Vision 2040 group was formed in 2013 through the SSAT and has been working to articulate what education could and should look like in 2040 – and how we can get there.
