ABSTRACT
Parent’s Charter The new rights and responsibilities in education for parents in the government’s Citizen’s Charter were stated in a booklet The Parent’s Charter: You and Your Child’s Education, issued in July 1991. The Charter included plans for annual written reports on children’s progress; regular reports by
independent inspectors on each school’s strengths and weaknesses; published league tables, which made possible comparison between the performance of local schools; and independent assessors on panels, which would hear parents’ appeals if they were unable to get the school of their choice for their children.
