Education forms an integral part of children’s lives. If they succeed at school, they are more likely to succeed in life. A flexible, well rounded and challenging curriculum is the nucleus of a first class education and underpins this success. But with a new government, what is the future of the National Curriculum?

The government set out its plans for schools and the education system, In The Coalition: Our Programme for Government, published 20th May 2010 and with the Education and Children’s Bill, announced 25th May 2010. Their plans include allowing more flexibility in the curriculum and the way it is taught, improving the quality of vocational education and creating new technical academies to expand schools provision, to meet the demands of this modern age.

In this time of financial constraint, the key questions are how will the education system be funded and how will these ideas be implemented? This timely and important forum will provide delegates with a platform for informed debate and discussion regarding the future of this vital issue. It will provide attendees the opportunity to allay any uncertainties regarding the future of the National Curriculum under the new government.
