Education (Update) Amendment Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill amends the Education Act 1989, and sets out objectives to guide the education system in the early childhood and schooling sectors. These objectives inform the setting of the Government’s priorities for these sectors through the statement of National Education and Learning Priorities, which will establish a clear strategic direction that allows a focus on children and young people and their educational outcomes.MP in charge
