The Labour government in England plans to overhaul school policies by phasing out isolation booths, frequent suspensions, and strict behavior regimes. They aim to make schools more inclusive and supportive of vulnerable pupils, ensuring they are not repeatedly suspended for failing to meet behavioral standards. This shift includes changing inspection criteria to assess schools based on their inclusivity and community representation, rather than solely on academic outcomes. Critics argue that current disciplinary practices disproportionately affect children with special educational needs and those from disadvantaged backgrounds, hindering their educational progress.
