Kent County Council seeks comment on new strategy
Kent County Council (KCC) is seeking comments on an updated strategy for education in Kent.
Their new draft Education Strategy sets out a vision for a "strong, collaborative, and cohesive system working in the best interests of all children."
It also sets the Council's work in the context of the established and emerging national direction of travel for education.
It incorporates input from education professionals, parents and carers, children and young people.
The consultation outlines their overarching principles and how they will deliver their duties, while working with everyone in the sector to deliver an excellent education for all our children and young people.
KCC’s cabinet member for education and skills, Rory Love, said: “Ambition, curiosity, and resilience are three of the most important things a child needs both for a successful education and for their future life-skills. These are our key areas of focus in the strategy.
“The strategy is built on partnership working to deliver an excellent education for Kent’s children and young people, with strong, effective schools and system-wide cohesion. This is an important opportunity to influence and shape our strategic direction. We would love to hear your feedback on the proposed strategy.”
