House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 10 Apr 2002 (pt 36)

Citizenship

Phil Hope: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether the Department is considering ways of extending the requirements for citizenship in the national curriculum to include the Youth Service curriculum. [46330]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The Youth Service does not have a specific curriculum. In its consultation document, "14–19: extending opportunities, raising standards", the Government have proposed that all young people should participate in active citizenship, wider interests and work-related learning. As part of their agenda for youth services in England, "Transforming Youth Work—Developing Youth Work for Young People", the Government aim to develop innovative youth work projects designed to enhance the engagement of young people in local democratic processes.

School Governance

Linda Perham: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what guidance she has given to schools as to the role of pupils in school governance. [46373]

Mr. Timms: We have given no guidance to schools on the role of pupils in school governance because under current legislation it is not possible for young people under the age of 18 to become school governors. A young person over the age of 18 may become a governor but

10 Apr 2002 : Column 136W

under existing regulations cannot be co-opted to serve as a governor at the school they attend. We are currently reviewing our policy in this area, in the light of new regulations we will be drawing up on school governance following the Education Bill.

Employment Rights

Laura Moffatt: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment she has made of the protection of employment rights for teachers who will transfer to new Private Finance Initiative secondary schools; and if she will make a statement. [46432]

Mr. Timms: There is no change to teachers' pay and conditions if their school is included within the scope of a Private Finance Initiative project. Teaching staff do not transfer to the private sector at these schools; they continue to be employed by the local authority or governing body, according to the status of the school.

Examination Papers

Mr. Hoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many of the companies involved in marking examination papers made errors in the last 12 months for which figures are available; how many students were affected by mistakes made by examination boards; and how much examination work remains untraced. [46450]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: The accuracy of the five examination boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJC, and CCA) has been assessed for the summer 2000 A level and GCSE examination series.

The figures are as follows:

Out of 774,380 candidate entries at A-level there were 4,505 marking errors discovered during inquiries about results—0.6 per cent. of all papers.

Out of 5,532,411 candidate entries at GCSE, 6,368 had marking errors discovered during inquiries about results—0.1 per cent. of all papers.

There are no reliable figures for untraced examination work.

City Academy, Newcastle

Mr. Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what discussions her officials have had with promoters of a City Academy in the City of Newcastle area; how many promoters have approached her; and whether those discussions are continuing. [46616]

Mr. Timms: Discussions have taken place, and are continuing, with a number of potential sponsors to establish City Academies across the country. There has been no formal approach from a partnership (comprising a sponsor and the local education authority) for a City Academy in the City of Newcastle area.

Mr. Brady: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills, pursuant to the answer of 27 November 2001, Official Report, column 782W, when she will publish the findings of the inquiry into the early release of the 2001 Key Stage results; and if she will make a statement. [48169]

Mr. Timms: I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 24 January 2002, Official Report, column 1006W.

Mr. Damian Green: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what was the average number of exams taken by (a) an 11-year-old, (b) a 14-year-old, (c) a 16-year-old and (d) and 18-year-old throughout their school career to that point, in each year since 1997, broken down by local education authority. [47482]

Mr. Ivan Lewis: All local education authority maintained schools in England are required to administer the national curriculum tasks/tests for pupils at the end of Key Stage 1 and tests for pupils at the end of Key Stages 2 and 3 in the core subjects of English, mathematics and science. Schools may, at their discretion, choose to administer other non-statutory tests in addition to the statutory requirements.

10 Apr 2002 : Column 139W

For GCSE/GNVQ and GCE A/AS/Advanced GNVQ, schools enter pupils for the appropriate subjects; the number of exam papers will vary according to subject and awarding body.

10 Apr 2002 : Column 140W

The table shows the total number of statutory national curriculum test papers in English, mathematics and science which will have been taken by most pupils in the relevant age group; and the average number of GCSE and GCE A/AS and GNVQ examination entries for those age groups. (All ages are at the end of the academic year.)

Notes:

1. Key Stage 1 tests for 7-year-olds were introduced nationally in 1991.

Key Stage 2 tests for 11-year-olds were introduced nationally in 1995.

Key Stage 3 tests for 14-year-olds were introduced nationally in 1993.

2. The number of papers taken for GCSE and GCE A/AS and GNVQ vary for each subject.

3. The increase in the number of national curriculum tests from seven to 20 for 14-year-olds and from seven to 20 for 16-year-olds reflects the fact that they were the cohort who took the first Key Stage 2 tests in 1994–95.

10 Apr 2002 : Column 151W

Mr. Damian Green: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many requests there were for an exam paper to be re-marked for each exam paper offered by each of the exam boards; and what percentage this represented of the papers taken in each year since 1997, broken down by local education authority. [47484]

10 Apr 2002 : Column 152W

Mr. Ivan Lewis: Information on requests for examination papers to be re-marked has been monitored by QCA since 1999 for each qualification. The small numbers involved make it impracticable to report on each specification, subject or local education authority.
