National Parent Forum-Focus Group
The National Parent Forum is inviting all parents to give feedback on whether CfE is meeting its / parents’ ambitions and expectations. Please come along if you are free to give your view.
Background from National Parent Forum: CfE aims to achieve a transformation in education by providing a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum, assessment and qualifications system from 3 to 18.
The introduction of new qualifications is part of this, with the aim
of reflecting the new style of learning, which places an emphasis on skills and knowledge and tests the understanding and application of knowledge as well as facts.
NPF would like to hear whether parents feel that CfE is achieving these ambitions for parents and children as they embark on their CfE journey.
