A variety of new approaches to pedagogy have been introduced as a result of our hyperconnected society (of which more in a future blog post). The metrics speak for themselves.

Governments are more interested in ensuring that their statistics and metrics continue to rise, than they are about children's learning.

There are better ways to assess children than Sats. We need to assess children's learning to ensure they are progressing. Unported License.
