Designed to turn government on its head, taking power away from Whitehall and putting it into the hands of people and communities. Once these reforms are in place, people themselves will have the power to improve our country and our public services, through the mechanisms of local democratic accountability, competition, choice, and social action. DFE Draft Structural Reform Plans

Over the past ten years, the gulf in achievement between the rich and the poor has widened and the attainment gap between fee-paying schools and state schools has doubled. Solution? Is ICT part of the solution?

Theme Draft Structural Reform Plan Greater autonomy for Schools Improved Parental Choice Whole System Improvement More support for the poorest Questions What is this? What will it look like? What will it mean for Naace? What will it mean for you?

Attracting the best people into teaching by expanding Teach First and further enhancing the prestige and esteem of the teaching profession. Focus relentlessly on improving behaviour by ensuring that parents accept their responsibilities, teachers have the discretion they need to get on with the job, and pupils respect adult authority at all times. We will also provide sharper, more intelligent accountability that focuses on underperformance by reforming Ofsted. Whole system improvement

We will introduce simpler revenue and capital funding systems to give better value for money and to tackle disadvantage and raise standards. We will reform the curriculum so that it reflects the best collective wisdom we have about how children learn, what they should know and how quickly they can grow in knowledge. We will publish a White Paper in the autumn setting out further details of these reforms. Whole system improvement
