EPM Briefing: oracy in England's curriculum, orbital cleanup, Horn of Africa

Thursday's five verified stories: oracy gains equal status with reading and writing in England, a spacecraft with robotic claws will clear two dead satellites…

Education, space and diplomacy: the five stories shaping the day. 1. United Kingdom: Britain's education secretary announced that oracy will be given equal status to reading and writing as a new strand of the English curriculum in England, working with Ofqual within the curriculum review. The speech included over £2 billion more funding this year, £4bn over three years for SEND, new vocational GCSEs, foundation qualifications and an end to repeated resits, after only 14% passed this summer's GCSE maths resit. 2. United Kingdom: The British Government is backing with more than £60m a pioneering mission whose spacecraft will use robotic claws to remove two defunct satellites so they burn up in the atmosphere, targeting 2032 after a 2029 launch from Saxavord. 3. United Kingdom: The King appointed William James Baxter as Lord-Lieutenant of County Tyrone, succeeding Sir Robert William Lowry Scott. Baxter served in the police from 1973 to 2003, commanded in Omagh and has been a Deputy Lieutenant for 14 years. 4. United Kingdom: North London man Marius Serban pleaded guilty to 2 offences after supplying forged character references to obtain an SIA licence illegally, and was ordered to pay £904 in a fine, victim surcharge and prosecution costs. 5. United Kingdom: A UK government spokesperson voiced great concern at the worsening security situation in the Horn of Africa, urged respect for regional sovereignty, de-escalation and dialogue supported by the African Union, and stressed humanitarian access and civilian protection between Ethiopia and Eritrea. 📌 Editor's note: five stories setting the pulse of the week, from classrooms to orbit.
