Educational policy Flashcards
How does educational policies affect students differently?
Standardised testing may put more pressure on students to perform well academically, creating stress and anxiety, especially for those who may not excel in traditional testing methods. However, policies that prioritise inclusive education and provide support for students which diverse needs can create a more supportive learning environment.
What does Gillborn and Youdell say about the effect of educational policies on different students?
They argue that schools perform a triage categorising pupils into those who will achieve anyway (Don’t require too much input), hopeless cases (Who would be a waste of effort) and borderline cases who require attention and input to get their 5 Cs at GCSE.
