Very pleased that nearly 2 years after the unanimous recommendation of the Education Select Committee I chaired for Govt to consider banning social media for under 16s it is taking steps to do so. It’s taken too long but children will be safer as a result

It is fantastic news that the Government has finally woken up to the dangers of social media for young people. This is an important step in helping parents protect childhood for children.
Huge credit goes to @LauraTrottMP and my Shadow Cabinet for relentlessly fighting for this. Conservatives welcome this latest Labour U-turn, and will continue to work for the best implementation of the policy.

Norway is following Sweden’s lead in rethinking screens in primary classrooms after falling reading & numeracy results - more power to them. Screen use for children must be evidence led. Handwriting and books still matter, so we must push back on creeping overuse of screens.
Norway to ban screens and expand free play in primary schools
Norwegian PM Støre announces a sweeping primary school reform for grades 1–4, with screen bans and more free play from 2026 amid declining PISA scores.

Am I missing something? Where is the Natural History GCSE? Where is the promised focus on nature?
We were told to wait for this review and all would be clear, but it looks like it’s been buried, delayed, or quietly dropped yet again. How can a government ignore the natural world so completely? gov.uk/government/news/new-c…

A stunning essay in the FT on the international decline in the ability to read, reason, focus, and learn new things.
It began or accelerated in the early 2010s.
It's hitting teens AND adults.
Self-report and objective scores.
