“As lecturers, researchers and professors of Education, we wish to express our support
for Stand up for education: a manifesto for our children’s education. We urge policy
makers to recognise the need for a wider vision of learning and education, which is no
longer distorted and undermined by bureaucratic systems of surveillance and artificial
target-setting. We call for immediate steps to end the blight of child poverty along with
funding for high quality early years education and the restoration of financial support for
post-16 students to stay in education. We agree that the future development of high
quality comprehensive education for all depends on a well-qualified teaching profession
and the principle of local democratic governance”.
