Education select committee 'to prioritise social justice and productivity'

An influential group of MPs that probes government policy on children and young people will focus on the issues of social justice and productivity over the term of the current parliament, it has been announced.

The education select committee met for the first time this week and agreed its initial programme of work for the new parliament and said it will hold early hearings with Education Secretary Justine Greening, Ofsted chief inspector Amanda Spielman, and Ofqual's chief regulator Sally Collier once Parliament returns from the party conferences in October.

The committee agreed to conclude the previous education committee's inquiry into fostering, which was put on hold due to June's snap general election. It said it will also look to follow up the previous committee's work by carefully considering the government's responses to previous inquiries. Details of new inquiries will be announced in the coming weeks.
