Who is the youth shadow panel and why does this matter?

The Youth Shadow Panel is made up of 12 young people inEngland who are passionate about ensuring youth voice is central to the shaping of future education. They represent the youth-led Shadow Curriculum andAssessment Review which was set up by a group of leading youth organisations, united by a determination to support the inclusion of children and youth perspectives in the Government’sCurriculum and Assessment Review. The Government’s Review will lead to changes about what is taught in schools and colleges and how students/pupils are assessed.
