Labour is being warned not to start telling teachers how to do their job.
If elected the party plans to direct teachers how to teach reading, writing and maths from 2026.
It would mean teachers and schools will face sanctions if they don't use government-approved approaches to teaching the subjects.
The Educational Institute and the Primary Principals Federation says teachers would back the model though the institute warned it would not work if it was too detailed and prescriptive.
The Secondary Principals Association president Vaughan Couillault spoke to Corin Dann.
