The parties’ schools policy commitments 2015
This note collates the public commitments regarding schools policy in England made by the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, UKIP and Green Party.
Although the parties have not yet published their election manifestos setting out their priorities on education, all have made a number of public statements and commitments regarding schools policy.
This note collates the public commitments made by the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, UKIP and Green Party. It also includes references to Standard Notes produced by the House of Commons Library that provide further information on the areas covered by the policy commitments.
The note does not offer a comprehensive list of all commitments made by each party. It also does not provide assessment or analysis of those policy commitments.
As education is a devolved policy matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the note only considers policy commitments in relation to England from the parties listed above.
