Le scuole non hanno personale sufficiente per far funzionare le riforme SEND, avverte il sindacato

At this point, any article about the education system may as well be a fill in the blanks.

“Schools do not have enough [blank] for [blank]”.

They’re understaffed and underfunded.

This is an area where AI will make the difference and probably what the gov is thinking. e.g. take a lesson plan and tell ai to tailor it for the needs of each individual in the room and create the custom learning materials and activities. Tell ai to draw up an Individual Support Plan for every child with special educational needs and then monitor student progress describing interventions. To some extent, education is already data driven especially at senior leadership level but the practical tooling for teachers and individuals can really benefit going forward.

The future problem then will be the teacher unions rallying against AI because schools won’t need all the staff especially 1:1 Teaching assistants. At the end of the day ,they only serve their members and don’t drive improvements.

Labour keeps making changes without actually properly funding it so the schools are being forced to cut other things or even let staff go to meet the new requirements.

The breakfast club caused complete carnage at multiple schools near me.
