UK Education Secretary defends mandatory Year 8 reading tests to catch struggling readers early.
Bridget Phillipson, the UK's education secretary, defended plans for mandatory reading tests in Year 8, rejecting criticism that the assessments could harm student wellbeing or widen educational inequalities.
She emphasized that the tests aim to identify struggling readers early and ensure all children meet basic literacy standards.
Phillipson argued that targeted support, not standardized testing, would be key to addressing individual needs.
The proposal remains under review as part of broader education reforms.
