Education and Inspections Bill

I should like to take this opportunity to explore what the Government currently understand by the words ““educational potential””. How broad a definition of ““educational”” are they intending here? Do ball skills come under education, or is it merely being able to get through the numeracy hour that counts as education? What boundaries do the Government currently set on this? What do the Government mean by ““potential”” and how is a school or local education authority supposed to assess it? What instruments are to be used and what measure may an LEA apply to say ““Yes, we have done this. This child has fulfilled their educational potential.””? If we are putting a duty on authorities, we must give them some ability to know that they have fulfilled it. However, I do not really see how it can be done.
