Education, Sport & Culture wants to replace current legislation which is widely regarded as outdated and no longer fit for purpose.
The Education Law has been in place since 1970 but is based on UK legislation from the 1940s and includes some elements of educational practice that date as far back as the turn of the century.
Public consultation, which ends on 6 March, provides an opportunity for the community to influence the development of the committee’s final proposals, which will be debated by the States later this year.
People can access the survey by visiting www.gov.gg/yourviews.
The committee has published a short animation to provide an overview of the current law, explaining why it needs to change and why it is so important for the delivery of education.
A second animation explains its plans to introduce boards of governors to oversee States-maintained education settings.
Both can be viewed at www.gov.gg/educationlaw.
