Teaching children the fundamentals 'is essential'

It is essential that children have a grasp of fundamentals such as reading and writing before they attend secondary school.

This is the view of schools minister Nick Gibb, who noted that according to this year's Sats results, one in five children are still not reaching the expected level in either English or maths.

"Getting the fundamentals right ? being able to read and write and having a solid foundation in maths ? is crucial to a child's success in secondary education and throughout their adult life," he commented.

Mr Gibb added that the government needs to ensure that people in teaching jobs are given the support they need to achieve this.

He claimed that Key Stage 2 tests help to provide crucial information and identify the best-performing schools.

Figures published by the Department for Education show that girls outpeformed boys in all areas ? except maths - in this year's Sats.
