Becky Francis Profile: Balancing Control and Compromise
Becky Francis, chair of the government's curriculum review, reflects on her experience in the role, discussing control, compromise, and finding a balance between being a 'firebrand' and a 'technocrat'.
As the review nears its conclusion, Francis notes that the final report's release date is still uncertain, with early November being the current estimate. The review is part of a broader policy initiative, including a white paper, SEND reforms, and new Ofsted inspections.
I like leadership, partly because I find it creative, but partly because, like a lot of leaders, I’m a bit of a control freak.
Francis admits that being part of the government's policymaking process can be challenging, particularly for someone who values control. Despite the difficulties, she continues to work towards finding a balance between her creative vision and the pragmatic demands of the role.
