The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to utilise (a) audiobooks and (b) audio resources in the Curriculum and Assessment Review.

Answered by Catherine McKinnell

The independent Curriculum and Assessment Review will support the innovation and professionalism of teachers, enabling them to adapt how they teach the curriculum to their students’ lives.

The Review Group will publish an interim report in early spring setting out its interim findings and confirming the key areas for further work, and publish its final report with recommendations this autumn.

The department respects the autonomy of teachers in terms of what resources they choose to use or recommend to their individual pupils, based on individual need in their own educational context and circumstances.
