UK Parents 'want texts from schools'

According to the BBC, one in 12 of the 1,493 parents polled by government education technology agency Becta said schools kept them informed using these methods.

"But 68% of parents said they wanted schools to use such technologies to keep them up to date more frequently.

Some 15% of parents were told of their child's progress at least once a month, and 85% were updated four times a year.

And eight out of 10 wanted more feedback on how their child was doing. "
