§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will initiate discussions with the teaching bodies on the findings of the recent 11-nation report by the National Foundation for Educational Research.
§ Mr. PrenticeI assume that my hon. Friend is referring to the studies carried out by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement, for which the National Foundation for Educational Research is the participating research organisation in this country. The findings of the IEA will be helpful to the consultations which I intend to arrange with educational organisations about the work of the Assessment of Performance Unit.
