Lib Dems say more sport needed in schools
One of the topics debated at this weekend's Liberal Democrat Regional Conference in Bradford was the need for more sport in schools to combat childhood obesity. The debate, chaired by Scarborough and Whitby PPC Tania Exley-Moore, produced some heated discussion about how the Labour Government have failed children in this country. Delgates argued that the main failure in Labour's approach to education was that millions of children left primary school failing to achieve basic levels of literacy and numeracy. It was felt that this was a direct result of the narrowing of the national curriculum and the over-emphasis on testing.
