New system for English assessments in Island's primary schools

The government's bringing in one consistent standard for English assessments across all Island primary schools. 

It says the new English Entitlement and Assessment Frameworks will make it easier for kids who move schools and for parents who will get consistent information about what their child's expected to learn. 

The new system will be better for teachers too, according to the Department for Education, Sport and Culture. 

It's appointing a new English lead practitioner to organise training, workshops, and support schools.
