Sign up to our event at The Labour Party Conference
Our education system has historically prized reading, writing and maths above spoken language. But is that about to change?
Labour has committed to an early language intervention in every school and to putting speaking skills at the heart of the curriculum. We will discuss what this could mean for the 1.9 million children who are struggling to talk and understand words following covid and the cost of living crisis.
Will more talking in lessons transform outcomes for children, including those in disadvantaged areas and those with SEND? Or will it just put more pressure on an already stretched education system?
Come, listen and talk with our expert panel at 10am on the 22nd of September.
