HC Deb 07 July 1998 vol 315 c487W
Mr. Waterson

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is his latest estimate of cost for the recently announced programme of national performance targeting for secondary schools; and if he will make a statement. [48179]

Mr. Byers

Target-setting is good practice and many schools already set targets for pupil attainment. The requirement for secondary schools to set targets for pupils' achievement at the end of Key Stage 4 will not require additional resources.
