Written Answers
Literacy: Curriculum Asked by: Baroness Grey-Thompson (Crossbench - Life peer) Tuesday 2nd December 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to promote multimodal literacy as part of the new curriculum rollout. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) This government’s ambition is for every child and young person to receive a rich, broad, inclusive and innovative education. The department agrees with the Curriculum and Assessment Review that building the skills for young people to critically engage with and assess information from a range of sources, including multi-modal texts, is increasingly important. The reformed English programme of study and English language GCSE will expose students to the study of a wider range of text types and genres, including transient texts, supporting them to analyse and challenge arguments, building media literacy. Media literacy is an increasingly important skill to enable young people to identify “fake news” and to spot different types of mis- and disinformation, especially online. Secure, well-founded knowledge is essential for students to understand how arguments are constructed across different types of media and to recognise the various ways in which language can be used to persuade.
Basic Skills Asked by: Baroness Grey-Thompson (Crossbench - Life peer) Tuesday 2nd December 2025 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government what the timeline is for delivering (1) the new primary oracy framework, and (2) the combined secondary oracy, writing and reading framework. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The department welcomes the Curriculum and Assessment Review’s focus on oracy. Expressing oneself fluently and communicating well is crucial for life and work, and an important vehicle for social justice. We will make sure that communication skills are more clearly expressed through revised programmes of study. We will also create a primary oracy framework and a combined secondary oracy, writing and reading framework to be published following the revised national curriculum. The primary oracy framework will support teachers to help their pupils become confident, fluent speakers by the end of key stage 2. This will build on our primary frameworks for reading and writing.
