§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects each child in local education authority-supported schools to have a record of personal achievement; and what guidance he is offering to local education authorities.
§ Mr. EggarRegulations laid last summer require parents to be given reports on the achievements of all children in years 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8 and sixth formers, and will extend progressively to cover all years by 1994. The accompanying circular 8/90, "Records of Achievement", offers guidance both on the legal framework and how it might be developed at schools' discretion. All secondary schools have in addition been encouraged to give all their school leavers a national record of achievement from this summer.
