🔴 The Government has scrapped its controversial Schools Bill as part of efforts to focus on the effects of the current economic crisis
“Obviously, there’s been a lot of things that we’ve had to focus on, and the need to provide economic stability and tackle the cost of living means that the Parliamentary time has definitely been re-prioritised on that,” she said.
“We do remain committed to the objectives, the very many important objectives that underpinned the Bill, and we will be prioritising some aspects of the Bill as well to see what we can do.” It means the Bill will likely be ditched in its current form. The legislation had been due for its third reading in the Lords, but the Government stripped out controversial chunks that would have given ministers sweeping powers over autonomous academies.
It also included a commitment to introduce a direct National Funding Formula, which would have made sure that every school in England received funding on the same basis. Ms Keegan said ambitions set out in the Schools White Paper, published in March under Mr Johnson’s premiership, could still be implemented without legislation.
