We recently sent a letter to Keir Starmer regarding the Labour Party (UK)’s five missions for a better Britain, recommending that the Labour party adopt evidence-based recommendations to improve science education. To tackle inequalities in science education, training and career structures the RSB urges the next UK Government to: - Champion qualifications for the sciences that are fit for purpose, equitable and ensure parity of esteem between academic, technical and vocational pathways. - Deliver a single route through the sciences at GCSE: a double GCSE award with the following features: biology, chemistry and physics identifiable and graded separately, timetabled distinctly, taught by subject-specialist teachers deployed within their specialism. - Ensure that all young people benefit from an unbroken chain of experts teaching the science disciplines. This requires investment in subject-specific support for teachers, with subject specialism being at the heart of any new or redeveloped teacher retention and recruitment strategies. Our full letter is available through the link below. #Education
