New issue of the 'Perspectives on Education' series on 'Effects from accountabilities'

19 March 2013

A good education in science - or indeed in any discipline - is impossible without good governance and accountability. This issue of 'Perspectives on Education' explores how accountability systems affect the quality of science education in England, suggesting that a system which is less reliant on a narrow set of examination performance measures should be explored.

The authors are: Andreas Schleicher of the OECD; former Chief Inspector of Schools Mike Tomlinson; headteacher Joan Sjovoll (Framwellgate School Durham); and Chris Williamson and Jo Field, governors of Howard of Effingham Secondary School.
