Liberal Democrat MPs Edward Morello and Wera Hobhouse have both signed an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons urging ministers to "promote the financial resilience of independent schools, including through a review of measures such as scrutiny of ownership, liquid capital, financial viability, early-warning requirements and minimum closure notice periods, so no school can close at such short notice without proper protections for pupils, families and staff". No amendments have yet been submitted to the motion. Hansard. 

Universities that do not stop artificial intelligence (AI) cheating by students could be fined, the Office for Students (OfS) has warned. In its new report, the independent regulator of higher education in England said many universities were still using unsupervised assessments that students could complete "in just a few minutes" with AI chatbots, resulting in some students no longer engaging in learning. The organisation has published new guidance saying universities must ensure students are being assessed effectively and advising them to use more secure "AI-free" assessment methods.

The Independent Schools Council (ISC) monitors the national and educational press in order to keep independent schools up-to-date with relevant education news. The DNS is a service primarily for schools in membership of ISC associations, although other interested parties can choose to sign-up. We endeavour to include relevant news and commentary and, wherever possible, notable public letters. Where capacity allows, we may include links to ISC blogs, press statements and information about school or association events. News stories are selected based on their relevance to the independent sector as a whole. Editorial control of the DNS remains solely with the ISC.

Sign-up to the email service is available on our website.

Members can contact the ISC if they know in advance of news, letters or opinions that are likely to feature in the media, or are aware of existing coverage which they would like to see featured in the DNS.

Headlines and first-line summaries are written by the ISC with the link directing to the source material. You should read and comply with the terms and conditions of the websites to which we link.
