The Oracy All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) has published its interim report. The report highlights that young people have unequal access to opportunities to develop their oracy skills in schools in England.
It emphasises the importance of developing pupils' confidence and competence in spoken language, particularly in view of the disruption to education over the last year.
The Oracy APPG is calling for better support for teachers to embed oracy in lessons and raised expectations for pupils' entitlement to quality oracy teaching, in order to harness the potential of oracy to address educational inequality, improve employability and support wellbeing.
The final report is due in Spring 2021.
