Education should be built around the needs of the kids, not achieving a place on a league table.. I was pleased to be asked to speak at the recent @NEUnion event discussing the findings of the @AssessmentEra report. Our young people are so much more than just a test score.

A heartfelt and passionate speech from Vikki. Discussing the flaws in the assessment system, the unfairness of judging a CYP’s ability based on a test without any consideration for circumstances that may happen beyond their control. @neu_durham @NEUnorthern

Secondary teacher @VikkiFawcett outlines the impact on students of the focus on solely high stakes exams to determine qualifications - futures are decided on the basis of one exam on one day; how is this fair? @NEUnion @AssessmentEra

The worm is turning, says @MaryBoustedNEU at Beyond Exam Factories event. A number of commissions are now saying we need an assessment system that is not focused solely on exams and supports students to develop skills for the modern age @NEUnion @AssessmentEra

Excited to be off to the launch of @primarycommiss1 report this morning. As a parent, change to the system of testing in English primary schools can't come soon enough. Govt needs to value children's learning above league tables

This is interesting and encouraging. The devil will of course be in the detail. To move forward the Government and new PM, and to ensure change meets the need of our young people, should read our report neweraassessment.org.uk/findings

Yet another report demonstrating the breadth of support and consensus for changing how we assess young people. The case for change is irrefutable. It will be better for society, the economy, for teachers and critically for young people and their learning experience and outcomes
