01 July 2011 Changes to the learning world Over the last month the Department for Education (DfE) has been busy conducting reviews and discussing forthcoming changes to operation and policy.

In this post we highlight new plans for executive agencies, the review of key stage 2 assessment, changes to GCSEs and the Higher Education White paper.
