Wednesday 7 April. Government Forced to Drop Home Ed Clause (via BBC Democracy Live).
“The Children, Schools and Families Bill is set to complete its remaining stages in the Lords. The government has dropped several of the key measures from the bill owing to opposition demands, including: guarantees of one to one tuition for children who fall behind, mandatory sex education for those over 15 and a new registration system for home-educated children. Historically the government is forced to make concessions to opposition parties during the so-called “wash-up” period to ensure that its legislation is passed before Parliament breaks up for the general election. The provisions that remain in the bill are concerned with special education needs pupils, excluded pupils and allow greater access to the media in Family Court proceedings. ”
Ed Balls has stated that: “It is our very clear intention to ensure that all the measures you have rejected are included in a new bill in the first session of the new Parliament”
