> What does the Review hope to achieve?
The Review hopes to:
- Stimulate debate about the current condition and achievements of state primary education in England, and about its future purposes and character.
- Bring into that debate not just professionals and policy-makers but also parents, children and the wider public; and the work of experts outside as well as inside education.
- Link up with parallel debates and initiatives in other countries.
- Ask the questions about primary education that need to be asked, without fear or favour.
- Draw on a wide range of both national and international evidence.
- Disseminate findings as widely and quickly as possible while the Review is in progress.
- Produce a well-argued final report, backed by evidence, which contains recommendations for future policy and practice in English primary education.
- Generate ideas which, even if not implemented immediately or in their entirety, will remain influential and will continue to inform the educational debate.
- Begin to make a real difference to the character and quality of English primary education over the first decades of the 21st century, and to the contribution which that education makes to individual lives and the collective good, at a time of change, uncertainty and growing concern about the future.
