Tuesday 24th May 2011 – Central London “This White Paper signals a radical reform of our schools. We have no choice but to be this radical if our ambition is to be world-class […] Reforms on this scale are absolutely essential if our children are to get the education they deserve.” Foreword by the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister The Importance of Teaching: Schools White Paper 2010.

London, United Kingdom, January 20, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Importance of Teaching: Schools White Paper has laid out the Government’s proposals for wholesale education reform with quality teaching at its core. Examining the key proposals, Capita’s National School Reform Conference offers strategic guidance and innovative practice to ensure all schools adhere to robust standards and the highest level of teaching.

Presentations from members of the Ministerial Working Group for Education, National Support Schools and other leading thinkers will equip you with the necessary information to reshape your practice and remove the bureaucracy
that constrains the teaching profession.

Key topics include:

• How schools will need to adapt to new curricular freedoms including discussion around assessments for primary and secondary pupils
