英国教育大臣露西·鲍威尔宣布将对学校检查制度进行第二轮大幅改革,距离上一次改革仅间隔一年多。1新的评级系统引发大量投诉,教师和学校管理人员普遍反映该制度加重了工作压力并危害心理健康。1
根据调查结果,三分之二接受检查的员工认为新系统与旧系统同样糟糕或更为糟糕。1四分之三的教师报告称检查过程对其心理健康造成负面影响。1鲍威尔要求Ofsted监管机构重新审视该制度的设计,特别是在衡量学校包容性方面的做法。1
现有数据表明,学校的社会经济背景与其检查评级存在关联。1研究发现,免费学校餐学生人数较多或特殊教育需求学生人数较多的学校往往获得较低评级。1全国教师协会秘书长保罗·怀特曼表示支持在评估中考虑学校所处的环境因素。1
Education Secretary Lucy Powell has announced a second major overhaul of England's school inspection system within just over a year, citing mounting complaints about the current framework's impact on schools and staff 1. The new rating system, which categorizes schools across six levels from "exceptional" to "urgent improvement," has sparked significant backlash since its implementation 1. According to surveys, two-thirds of inspected staff reported that the new system is as bad as or worse than the previous one, while three-quarters of teachers stated that inspections have negatively affected their mental health 1.
Powell has specifically urged Ofsted, the regulatory body overseeing school inspections, to reconsider how the system measures inclusivity and to better account for schools' socioeconomic backgrounds 1. Research has revealed that schools with higher numbers of pupils receiving free school meals or requiring special educational support tend to receive lower ratings 1. Paul Whiteman, secretary general of the National Education Union, voiced support for incorporating environmental factors that schools face into the assessment process 1. The push for reform follows the previous redesign of the inspection framework, which was prompted by the death of former headteacher Ruth Perry 1.
