The Shadow Review aims to ensure that youth voices are central in shaping the future of education. The Government recently launched a review of the national curriculum and assessment in England which will lead to some changes on what is taught, and how, in schools and colleges. Lots of children and young people have views on what you do or don’t like about learning. The Government’s Review so far, has not gathered perspectives from young people, who have felt excluded from the process. As young people will be affected by these changes, the Shadow Review has been set-up, with support from leading youth organisations, to collect views from young people across England so that they have a say on your education.
The Shadow Review is independent of the Government's Review but our youth-led Review is shadowing every step of the Government Review. This includes running our own call for evidence, running regional roadshow events in Spring 2025, and publishing both an interim and final report.
