The point of school subjects is not that they provide precise mirrors of the cutting edge of the academic discipline but that they provide an adequate level of knowledge to students who may never study the subject again.
Counterpoint: of course we do. Literacy, numeracy, and a broad scientific and humanist curriculum to make sense of the world and our personal lives. You cannot outsource thinking and knowing.

Today’s #OECDPISA results show England is among the highest performing European and Western countries for education. Since 2009, England has risen 16, 12 and 3 places in rankings for maths, reading and science respectively, demonstrating our commitment to driving up standards.
PISA 2022 is out! English schools and teachers should be phenomenally proud. Best ever ranking in maths - up to 11th in the world from 27th in 2009
I'm on the govt's 'Workload Reduction Taskforce' and we're thinking hard about cutting workload from assessment/data. I would *really* like to get my hands on some (anonymised) 'Progress Test in Science' data for a cohort of pupils. Can anyone help? Please RT 🙏

Whilst I’m very sad to see @NickGibbUK step down as Schools Minister, I wish him the best of luck with his plans to join the diplomatic service. Nick has worked with school leaders and teachers to transform millions of children’s lives for the better. Thank you, Nick.
A fantastic minister and brilliant, wise colleague. Thank you so much @NickGibbUK I will miss working with you hugely.

‘Attention is the currency of learning’ - @daisychristo #rEDCam24
It was a pleasure to join this fantastic group to discuss the potential for AI in education with the Secretary of State and Deputy Prime Minister. There are huge opportunities and great risks, and a bold strategy to harness AI to address disadvantage is paramount.
AI is already having a transformational impact in education, whether helping to mark work, tutor students or plan lessons. Today, @OliverDowden and I met with technology companies and education leaders to discuss how we can unleash this potential now and in the future.
The legendary @Doug_Lemov visited @ArkSoaneAcademy today. I think I speak for a lot of our staff when I say we’ve learned so much from his work & will continue to do so in the future. Thank you for visiting & sharing your invaluable insights, Doug!
Before I had a stoma I found them terrifying, even disgusting. The reality is totally different. It's easy to manage and at times I forget I've got it. I wish I'd heard from someone before my op, to reassure me, so I was delighted to go on BBC News last night to talk about it.
Last night we featured alongside @mattforde on #BBCNews, to discuss the positive impact that public figures openly discussing their stomas has on the community 💜 Louise Thompson, @AdeleRoberts, Tracey Emin, Mollie Pearce, @LouieGreen88 - we thank you! ow.ly/7ErV50RcfkT
Fascinating chart. This is what a housing shortage does: when renters' earnings rise, nearly half of the increase gets eaten by higher rents. If everything we consume was like this, growth wouldn't make us better off at all. There's no reason housing needs to be this way either.
.@C_Hendrick’s keynote at @researchED_US was astoundingly good. I caught most of it on video… Sorry that it’s in Tweetable chunks, but I promise that it’s worth the headache of pressing Play a few times. What is learning, Carl asks?
Workload, unrealistic expectations, pupil behaviour, lack of respect and low pay – all driving a *global* teacher recruitment and retention crisis. This isn't a UK-only thing, or a party-political thing. Report from Australia by @simongerman600: thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2024/0…
I loved being on @LBC with @IainDale last night. In between some very emotional conversations about cancer we did manage to have a bit of fun.
'He's got no idea what he's on about!' @mattforde shows @IainDale his uncanny impressions of Starmer, Blair, Hague and Trump.
A review in Nature, by @candice_odgers, asserts that I have mistaken correlation for causation and that “there is no evidence that using these platforms is rewiring children’s brains or driving an epidemic of mental illness.” Both of these assertions are untrue.…
Good to speak to the @BBCBreakfast team today about a sobering truth: behaviour in schools is one of the biggest problems many teachers face, and the only way we tackle it properly is by accepting that. And by understanding students need guidance, taught behaviours, boundaries…
