2. Information: reducing data burdens on schools
The Secretary of State for Education has written a letter to local authorities and academy trusts about the importance of tackling workload issues.
The letter highlights their role in reviewing and reducing data burdens on the schools they support in line with the recommendations in the making data work report.
3. Information: guidance to support preparations for leaving the European Union
As a responsible government we have been planning, and continue to prepare for all eventualities, and that includes managing the impacts of a no deal Brexit if they arise.
The government has published extensive advice on the steps that citizens, businesses and other organisations may need to take to prepare for our exit from the EU. We recommend that the further education sector takes the necessary steps to ensure they are similarly prepared and we know that many of you have plans ready to put into action.
As part of our preparations, we have updated our existing guidance to support the schools sector to prepare for Brexit. The guidance signposts education institutions to relevant information, setting it in the context of how it may affect the education sector.
We will be updating it further as information becomes available.
