- Title
The future of early reading courses in initial teacher education institutions in England: Who controls the content?
- Authors
Clark, Margaret M.
- Abstract
The education policy discussed here is mandatory only in England, not the United Kingdom, as education is a devolved power. The Department for Education and Ofsted are responsible only for schools in England. Since 2010 there have been five Secretaries of State for Education. However, Nick Gibb, has recently been reappointed Minister of State for School Standards. He has over many years promoted the government systematic synthetic phonics policy, for which he has been complimented publicly in parliament by both the Chairman of the Education Select Committee and the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. Nick Gibb has claimed the success of this policy in debates, in written answers to MPs' questions, in articles and at conferences around the world (including in Australia). It is for this reason that quotations I have selected are from him, not the Secretaries of State.
