EC Meeting March 2017

cutting bus services in a city heavily dependent on public transport is now a real possibility, something that will see increased car usage and more avoidable deaths. 4 Conference is appalled by these issues and calls on the GFTU to support the dispute in LU and to campaign for the reinstatement of the TfL operating grant.

Motion 12

Association of Educational Psychologist

Selective Education

1 We note with concern the intention of the Government to promote educational selection through increasing the provision of Grammar Schools. 2 We call upon this Conference to oppose this increase in selection at the end of Key Stage 2 as children and young people transfer to secondary education. This opposition is based on clear evidence of the negative effects of selection on the educational, psychological and social wellbeing of children and young people.
