Stephen Twigg is urging the Government to create an independent office to raise educational standards in England.

The Labour education spokesman is calling for an ‘Office for Educational Improvement’ to develop better benchmarks for education in the country by using research evidence and considering criteria drawn from international comparisons.

Mr Twigg accuses Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, and those on the far left of being ‘dogma-driven’ in their approach to education reform. The plan for the non-ministerial ‘Office for Educational

Improvement’ is to act as a clearing house for the most relevant research available on what really works in schools and to spread good practice amongst regions.

He argues that an independent office would allow for education policies to be built from successful examples as opposed to political ambitions. He aims to do this by measuring performances against international competitors, and by learning lessons from rapidly developing countries such as South Korea and China.
