Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what provision they have made for the teaching of digital skills and understanding at Early Years Foundation Stage; what assessment they have made of that provision; and whether they have any plans to change it.
The early learning goal (ELG) for technology in the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework, attached, is for “children to recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes.”
The primary assessment consultation response published on 14 September confirmed, attached, that we will review the ELGs and descriptors. For further information the consultation response can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/primary-assessment-in-england.
