Education 'reassure' teachers over future of system

Guernsey's Education Committee is 'reassuring' teachers that they will be involved in the process of creating a plan for the future of the education system.

It's after a teachers' union slammed the government's handling of scrapping the eleven plus exam and the Grammar School.

But the committee want to "reassure the NASUWT, NUT and other unions that their views are important".

The group of deputies say they've been given "very clear direction" to work up a detailed plan of how a three school system will work.

A statement said "There are a number of options that will deliver this direction...The Committee needs to consider the pros and cons of all the possible three school models".

They will consult other politicians on 25th January, before seeking the views of those who work in education.
