TEXT C

There's a standard line in every speech an education secretary makes, in which teachers are told they are the backbone of the education system. And yet, whenever governments decide on a new direction for education policy, teachers seem to find themselves on the sidelines. Today, the government releases its latest education white paper; so we have decided to remove teachers from the sidelines and put them centre stage, by asking the 10 winners of the National Teaching Awards to say what they feel should be in the white paper. We will find out just how much overlap there is between teachers and the government – and you can judge whose vision you prefer.

As a director of a language college, I feel the white paper should give a clear undertaking that the government intends to rethink its decision to make modern languages an option in key stage 4. Some 75% of the world is bilingual and British children should all learn a language other than English, at least to the age of 16.

I believe the debate about the 11-18 curriculum should be raised again. Our college follows the international baccalaureate (secondary school examination system used in France and by many international schools) in the sixth form and students find the course both challenging and enriching. The white paper should promise to reconsider the whole question of a broad-based baccalaureate-type curriculum, not simply to fall more in line with the rest of Europe, but also because it produces better-rounded students more able to cope with the demands of higher education and work.

Finally, we need schools to put a much greater emphasis on being a global citizen and our responsibility to those living in the developing world.

More than anything, I would like the government to give schools the freedom to go off curriculum. I believe if you give children rich and varied opportunities, they will always surprise you. Last year at Sholing junior school, a pupil in year 6 suggested and partly organised a fashion show to raise money for tsunami victims. The children excelled and the benefits, in raising aspirations and confidence, of both pupils and staff, were enormous.

A positive approach to behaviour management and constructive feedback to pupils about their work is also important. Finding the balance between encouraging and challenging pupils requires great skill, but when achieved, the results are amazing. To quote Christopher Logue, 1968:

Come to the edge We might fall! Come to the edge It's too high! Come to the edge And they came and we pushed And they flew.
