Labour Party Set to Abolish SATs Exams

He further said, “These excessive exams are not driving up standards but they’re driving up stress both for children and for teachers and when the system forces teachers to teach the test, narrowing down the range of learning to core parts of core subjects to get through exams that’s not helping pupils.”

While talking about the importance of the children’s lives, he added, “We need to prepare children for life, not just for exams. Tests are bad for children, bad for parents and bad for teachers. We need a different approach and the next Labour Government will scrap primary school SATs for 7 and 11 year olds.”
