Half Our Future (the Newsom Report)
This report of the Central Advisory Council for Education (England) resulted from research into the state of secondary education, focusing on students aged 13 to 16 who were of average or below-average ability. The report was known as the Newsom Report, named after Mr J H Newsom, chairman of the advisory council. It identified serious failings in the teaching of less-able students and argued strongly that standards needed to improve.
The title 'Half Our Future' referred to the many children who would become English citizens, workers, parents and consumers and the report argued that there should be a change of attitude towards them in the education sector.
