WHAT I WOULD DO IF I WERE A POLICYMAKER

Here are a list of policies I would have if I were an education politician in a country of my own, but let's pretend I had to include the GCSE Curriculum as a mandatory qualification. Rules may sound ideal, some may sound completely different or unexpected.

1) All students, teachers, educators to every humans' mental health need to be regarded equally and it is the most important priority to give each one the opportunity to thrive, no matter who they are. From observatory to more kinesthetic learners, every one should be given the chance to learn in the best way they can. High-stake pressure and expectations for exam performance and coursework assignments is strictly prohibited, so to keep this going, we need to carefully number how much content is given and spread exams and assignments throughout the whole of Years 10 and 11.

2) All subjects, from humanity to creative subjects, the core English Language, Maths and Science ones, are to be regarded equally with funding, teaching, resources, respect and learning. Every subject matters, we need charities to continue raising money for them as well as governments increasing money for all subjects in state schools. To implement this plan, awareness and evidence need to continue being raised across the Internet and to the Government, school budgets need to be well-organised, saved and taken very seriously.

3) All students, from male and female, SEN and non-SEN, religious and non-religious, black and white, have the equal rights to represent their own learning styles. Teachers need to take notice of how each student learns best, where their strengths and weaknesses lie, and what subjects they love most.

4) Support must be open to all students with a wide diversity of counsellors and tutors. Mortgages and saving finances for mental health departments is crucial, so schools need to carefully manage their finances and create a strong community with charities, for example.

If these were implemented and all of us collaborated together (not the Government alone), we could all help these changes to grow vastly, more quickly and since we are stronger together, our plans might be so much better than (if I dare say, the Government's plans - you know what they're like!!) I created the drawings in the photos myself. ​
