The Coalition Government’s Education Bill has been granted Royal Assent, which completes the legislative procedure of the Government’s key educational reforms.
Schools Minister, Nick Gibb said: “This new legislation hands to teachers all the powers they need to ensure that every classroom is a safe and ordered place where children are free to learn. It focuses school inspection on educational standards and strengthens school accountability to drive continued improvement in academic standards.”
The majority of the provisions in the Act will come into force within the next two months.
