Policy Agenda
A living document of what we are pushing for in the UK education system.
Universal Free Early Years Education
Over 1.5 million children in England are currently in state-funded early years settings. We demand a full transition to free, high-quality childcare for all families by 2026.
Adopted
Curriculum Access for SEND Students
Research shows that 20% of students with special educational needs and disabilities are not receiving the tailored support they need. We are calling for mandatory specialist teacher training.
Proposed
Reduction of Exclusion Rates
Exclusions for behavioral issues have risen by 40% in the last five years. We demand a national strategy to prioritize restorative justice and mental health support.
Adopted
Equitable Funding for Rural Schools
Rural schools receive 15% less funding than urban counterparts. We are pushing for a regional funding model that accounts for geographic isolation and transport costs.
In Debate
Teacher Retention and Pay
Over 40% of teachers leave the profession within their first three years. We are advocating for a 10% salary increase and a national mentoring program.
