What can today's educators learn from a 60-year-old report

In 1963, the Central Advisory Council for Education published the Newsom Report looking at the education of students aged 13 to 16 who were seen as 'average' or 'below-average'.

Titled, Half Our Future, it found serious failings in the teaching of these groups and demanded standards improve.

Sixty years on, what has been the result? We're reposting Adam Steedman Thake 's blog looking at what the report said and the effect it had. You may be surprised at its impact and the lessons it may still be able to teach
