HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 c472W
16. Mr. David Martin

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what has been the response of the teacher unions and associations following the publication of the Dearing report on the national curriculum and testing.

Mr. Robin Squire

The Dearing report was broadly welcomed by the teacher associations. Following its publication in January, all but one of the associations called off their boycott of the national tests.
