Saqib Bhatti

Conservative — Meriden and Solihull East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 December 2025

Debate

National Curriculum Reform

Contribution

Last month’s curriculum review demonstrated that the Government are fixated on watering down the curriculum, whether that is scrapping the English baccalaureate or changing Progress 8. These changes will lower standards for our children and harm them in the long term. The Minister thanked Professor Becky Francis, and she was right to do so, so why have the Government ignored the independent curriculum review and decided to change Progress 8 and lower outcomes for our children?
