Science: Education
Asked by: Baroness Brown of Cambridge (Crossbench - Life peer) Thursday 7th November 2024 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to halve the budget for the National Centre for Computing Education and remove funding for face-to-face and regional science teacher continuing professional development in all subjects except physics; and what impact this would have on social mobility, science teacher retention and UK growth. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Education) Over the last few years, the department has invested in the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) to help improve the quality of computing education. The NCCE will continue to provide support to teachers of computing, ensuring they are equipped with the specialist knowledge they require to confidently teach the subject. The independent Curriculum and Assessment Review will consider how children will acquire the key digital skills needed for life and work. The department will look at how it can support teachers to adapt to any future curriculum changes. The Science Learning Partnerships have made important contributions over the last few years, and the department greatly values the work they have done. However, the previous government decided to focus resources more tightly, resulting in ending the funding of Science Learning Partnerships. The department expects to continue support for those teaching physics outside of their specialism. There is a range of other support for science education in schools, including materials from Oak National Academy in all three sciences, and free and commercially available continued professional development. The department remains strongly committed to supporting science education and continues to support teachers, including through generous financial incentives and fully funded Subject Knowledge Enhancement training.
