Ofsted finds early years weakness
Published: 15 March, 2007
School inspectors in England are warning of weaknesses in the first years of learning - with literacy and calculation "particular problems". Ofsted has examined a range of educational settings for three to five-year-olds, including schools, nurseries and children's centres. Inspectors found that in a third of them, language and literacy were below the expected standard. And by the age of five, boys had already fallen behind girls. "Children's low achievement in early reading, writing and calculation in some settings must be tackled so they are able to achieve the best possible outcomes to set them on the right path for their future education," said Miriam Rosen, Ofsted's director for education.
