Question: Plans to cut down on the "annoying" cookie banners that web users face have been released by the European Union.

Instead of giving consent to cookies on every website they visit, users would be able to set general preferences.
The European Commission said the plans, which would also remove banners for non-intrusive cookies, would help to tackle an "overload" of such requests.
But experts warned the plans could harm advert-funded media, as well as platforms such as Facebook and Google.
Cookies are small files that download on to a user's device and enable tracking, sometimes to power advertising.
Since 2012, EU rules have required websites to tell users what cookies are being placed on their machine.
Typically, this meant a pop-up window seeking consent.
European Commission vice-president, Andrus Ansip, said it was now proposing simpler rules, "so that internet users do not have to click on a banner every time they visit a website".
"This way, people will be more in control of their settings," he said.
Under the plans, websites could read the cookie preferences set in users' browsers.
Also, banners would be scrapped for cookies that do not invade users' privacy, such as those remembering shopping cart history or counting website hits.
Last year, many internet companies called for the EU to scrap the so-called "cookie law", introduced in 2012.
However, the latest proposals could end up damaging online services and frustrate web users, according to a senior executive at a trade body that represents many of the world's biggest internet firms.
"The banners are certainly annoying. The question is whether they come up with something that's better or worse," said James Waterworth, vice-president of the Computer and Communications Industry Association.
He warned the proposals could harm a range of companies, from Facebook through to newspapers, if many users opted against allowing all but the least intrusive cookies.
"If this is done wrong and it's much harder to obtain permission, then it could have a serious impact on ad-funded services," he told the BBC.
Under the proposals, users could set a preference in their browser for the level of cookies to which they consent.
But they might also need to do this in every app and on every device they log in to, advertising companies have warned.
"People who thought cookie banners were annoying, will be disappointed to hear that things won't get better," said Townsend Feehan, chief executive of Interactive Advertising Bureau Europe.
The commission's proposals on privacy rules for electronic communications cover a range of areas, including:
The European Commission hopes to introduce the changes by May 2018, although experts warned that would be a tight timeline.
It comes less than a year after the EU introduced the Privacy Shield, which also set rules for tech companies on data protection and privacy.

All UK sites have been given until 26 May to make sure visitors are able to give "informed consent" over cookies.
Cookies are pieces of personal data stored when users browse the web.
The Cabinet Office said the government was "working to achieve compliance at the earliest possible date".
Once the new rules take force, consent will most likely be obtained by ticking a "yes" box when visiting a site - although other approaches have been suggested.
The regulations are designed to protect user privacy when using the web.
"As in the private sector, where it is estimated that very few websites will be compliant by the 26th May, so it is true of the government estate," a Cabinet Office spokesman told the BBC.
"The majority of department websites will not be compliant with the legislation by that date."
The BBC understands that the sites, which range from those run by local councils to national departments, have been told that no action will be taken by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) over the deadline miss - provided they were "showing a commitment" to eventually make changes.
Cookies are small files that allow a website to recognise and track users. The ICO groups them into three overlapping groups:
Session cookies
Files that allow a site to link the actions of a visitor during a single browser session. These might be used by an internet bank or webmail service. They are not stored long term and are considered "less privacy intrusive" than persistent cookies.
Persistent cookies
These remain on the user's device between sessions and allow one or several sites to remember details about the visitor. They may be used by marketers to target advertising or to avoid the user having to provide a password each visit.
First and third-party cookies
A cookie is classed as being first-party if it is set by the site being visited. It might be used to study how people navigate a site.
It is classed as third-party if it is issued by a different server to that of the domain being visited. It could be used to trigger a banner advert based on the visitor's viewing habits.
"The impression I'm getting from the ICO is that even if there are complaints and you're found not to be compliant, unless it can be shown your intent was to avoid compliance, then they would work with you," said Mike MacAuley from the Local Government Association, which has hosted discussions on the issue.
The ICO did not want to comment on the issue when contacted by the BBC.
On 26 May the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) imposes an EU directive designed to protect internet users' privacy.
The law says that sites must provide "clear and comprehensive" information about the use of cookies.
In computing, cookies are small text files that help organise and store browsing information.  However, cookies are increasingly being used to power targeted advertising, by gathering data about sites visited and search terms used.
It is these "tracking" cookies, which users do not often know about, which the EU hopes to clamp down on with the regulations.
The deadline had originally been set for May last year. However, the ICO - which will be enforcing the rules in the UK - decided to give firms an extra year to comply with the laws in order to avoid an "overnight" change.
At the time, communications minister Ed Vaizey said: "It will take some time for workable technical solutions to be developed, evaluated and rolled out so we have decided that a phased in approach is right."
While government websites do not carry advertising, cookies are still used to carry out various tasks, such as helping site administrators monitor levels of traffic.
"If people listen to our advice and are prepared to take steps towards compliance there shouldn't be a problem," Dave Evans, the ICO's group manager for business and industry,
          told E-Consultancy last month
.
"However, if businesses deliberately stop short of total compliance, then there is a risk."
Mr MacAuley said meetings had been held earlier this month between the LGA's members and the ICO to discuss how best to comply.
"I think the issue is really more about what the spirit of the regulations is intended to prevent," he said.
"They're intended to prevent any kind of malicious exploitation of cookies, or any wilful avoidance of the regulations. I think the ICO takes a very dim view of that.
"However I don't think local governments would in any way try to do either of those things."
Vinod Bange, a lawyer for Taylor Wessing who has spent time consulting companies who are cautious of the changes, said the small number of businesses who have invested in meeting the guideline deadline could be left feeling frustrated.
"There will be some companies out there wondering why they've gone to the expense, and committed a lot of resource, into trying to tackle a problem which is not going to be enforced," he said.
In the interview with E-Consultancy, the ICO's Mr Evans said there would not be a team of investigators seeking out infringing sites, but would act on complaints.
"How likely it is that complaints will flood in, we don't know," he said.
"It may be that the great British public simply isn't that concerned about cookies."

Question: Germany plans to boost defence spending by nearly â‚¬2bn (Â£1.7bn; $2.1bn) this year - but it will remain far short of the Nato target.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

Nato estimates for 2016 show that only five alliance members - the US, UK, Greece, Poland and Estonia - will spend a minimum of 2% of national output (GDP) on defence, which is the target.
Germany's defence spending of â‚¬37bn in 2017 will be 1.2% of GDP.
US President-elect Donald Trump says Nato allies are over-reliant on the US.
He has questioned whether the US should defend any alliance partner, under Article 5, if so many of the 28 Nato members are not paying their way. He also criticised Nato as "obsolete".
Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has long urged alliance members to meet the 2% target.
Announcing the 2017 spending target, German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen said "we're moving in the right direction, but we can't do it in one year". Defence spending also rose in 2016.
Germany has for years struggled to modernise its military as it becomes more involved in Nato operations. It scrapped conscription to become a professional army in 2011 but last year said it may introduce a form of national service for civil defence.
Other Nato members have also started to increase defence spending. The alliance faces a range of security challenges, including the Islamist insurgencies in the Middle East and Africa and Russia's resurgent armed forces, accused of undermining Ukraine.
The significant areas of German defence spending in 2016 included: the Puma Infantry Combat Vehicle, new ammunition and communications equipment. There were delays to some major projects: the A400M transport plane, the Tiger attack helicopter and the NH90 transport helicopter, German n-tv news reports.

Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan announced on Wednesday that the government plans to grow the military budget by 73% over the next decade.
The money will go to 88 fighter jets, 5,000 new military personnel and new ships.
The move comes at a time when Nato is pressuring countries to contribute more to global crises.
"This defence policy is for Canada," Mr Sajjan told media when asked if the new spending will appease US President Donald Trump, who has frequently called on Canada to contribute more to Nato.
The defence budget will grow from C$18.9bn ($14bn; Â£10.8bn) in 2016-17 to C$32.7b a year in 2026-27, or by about 73%, with most of the new funds being delivered after 2021.
In her address to Parliament on Tuesday about the government's foreign policy goals, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland urged Canada to resume its role on the world stage that it once had during the First and Second World Wars.
She said Canada must be willing to step up and expand its "hard power" as we can no longer rely on American leadership.
"It's only fair for us to acknowledge the larger contribution of the United States. For in blood, in treasure, in strategic vision, in leadership, America has paid the lion's share," she said during her speech.
Currently Nato countries are encouraged to contribute 2% of their GDP to military spending, but few countries do.
The new funding will see Canada's military spending rise from about 1.2% of the GDP to about 1.4%.
The funding will go to strengthen Canada's commitment to Nato, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) and continue the fight against IS, Mr Sajjan said.

Question: The Labour Party faces an open split over the government's planned cuts to benefits spending after one of its MPs tabled an amendment to the legislation.

Former shadow welfare minister Helen Goodman made the move without the blessing of interim party leader Harriet Harman.
Ms Goodman says 40 MPs back her attempt to reject the Welfare Bill.
Ms Harman has said that if the party "opposed everything" it would "succeed on nothing".
Earlier this week, she said Labour had to recognise that one of the reasons it lost the general election was because it was not trusted on welfare spending.
She has urged the party to abstain on the Welfare Reform Bill, warning against "blanket opposition" to reform.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said: "There is now the prospect of the acting Labour leader either being forced to back down in the face of opposition from her own side, or Labour being divided in a Commons vote."
A Labour Party spokesman said it would make its intentions clear "fairly shortly".
Bishop Auckland MP Ms Goodman, who has left Labour's front bench to join the Treasury select committee, had announced the move on Twitter, writing: "With 40 other MPs I've put down a motion to reject Tory Welfare bill, because it will push more children esp in big families into poverty."
Other Labour MPs wrote of their support on Twitter, with Warrington North's Helen Jones tweeting: "Glad so many MPs are supporting our motion to reject Tory Welfare Bill, which will push families on low wages further into poverty."

Few MPs had backed the member for Islington North, and many were unhappy that he chose his ally from the Labour left, John McDonnell, as shadow chancellor.
When Mr McDonnell explained his decision to reverse his support for Mr Osborne plan - which are set out in an updated Charter for Budget Responsibility - to labour MPs, shouts of criticism were audible outside the room, and one ex-minister described the process as a "shambles".
The charter commits the government to keep debt falling as a share of GDP each year and achieve a budget surplus by 2019-20. Governments will then be required to ensure there is a surplus in "normal times".
This will be when the independent Office for Budget Responsibility judges that the UK is experiencing real GDP growth of less than 1% a year, as measured on a rolling four-quarter basis.
Chancellor George Osborne's plan has been seen as a potential trap for Labour and a test of its willingness to commit to spending cuts. His number two at the Treasury, David Gauke, however, insists that is not a political stunt.
He told the BBC it would improve accountability and help ensure a "sound framework for delivering sound public finances" with any chancellor having to suffer the "political embarrassment" if they did not meet its requirements.
Soon after his appointment, Mr McDonnell said he would support the charter, saying Labour was serious about deficit reduction - although he had a markedly different approach to the Conservatives towards balancing the books (he says Labour would spend more and grow the economy and collect more taxes from companies to balance the books rather than balancing the books by cutting spending).
But he has now pointed to a "growing reaction" to the "nature and scale" of public spending cuts, saying Labour will vote against the charter to "underline our position as an anti-austerity party". Labour will set out an alternative plan for tackling the deficit, he says.
Many Labour MPs agree the charter should be opposed, but are unhappy at the way the decision has been reached.
Mr McDonnell's predecessor as shadow chancellor, Chris Leslie, says the decision to "go from one extreme to the other... sends the wrong message to the general public".
Mr Corbyn's supporters say the Parliamentary Labour Party should accept the mandate of his comprehensive victory in the leadership contest, with shadow international development secretary Diane Abbott saying some in the party are still "coming to terms" with his victory.
Wednesday's vote on the charter will not be the final time Mr Corbyn's leadership is tested in the House of Commons.
Nuclear weapons is an issue where Mr Corbyn's views are in direct conflict with party policy. Labour is presently committed to renewing the Trident missile system, but the party's leader is committed to opposing it, and has said he would not fire nuclear weapons if he were prime minister.
Mr Corbyn says Trident will form part of a defence review being carried out by shadow defence secretary Maria Eagle. But unless he can change Labour's policy - and a bid to get it debated at conference last month was rejected - he faces the unusual prospect of rebelling against his own party when Parliament votes on the issue next year.
Labour MPs could be given a free vote, which means they will not be bound by party lines, to avoid this happening.
David Cameron is hoping to build Commons support for air strikes on so-called Islamic State militants in Syria. Mr Corbyn is opposed to any military intervention, but not all of his MPs - or his shadow cabinet - share this view.
The divisions were underlined by a bad-tempered Twitter exchange involving shadow international development secretary Diane Abbott, who criticised Labour MP Jo Cox for proposing military action to protect civilians. Ms Abbott was branded an "internet troll" by Labour MP John Woodcock after she accused him and Ms Cox of wanting to "support Cameron in his long held desire to bomb Syria".
In his party conference speech, Mr Corbyn said "the answer to this complex and tragic conflict can't simply be found in a few more bombs".
Also at the party conference, Mr McDonnell suggested a free vote could be held, saying he did not expect consensus within the party and that he believed a vote on military action in Syria should be made "on the basis of conscience".
The government's cap on overall household benefits had already split the Labour Party before Mr Corbyn took over, with 48 of its MPs opposing the Welfare Reform and Work Bill, which will reduce the cap to  Â£23,000 in London and Â£20,000 in the rest of the country, in defiance of the then interim leader Harriet Harman's order to abstain.
Mr Corbyn has said he wants to scrap the cap altogether, calling the policy "devastating". But Owen Smith, his shadow work and pensions secretary, has said Labour is only opposing plans to reduce it.
On some key policy issues, Labour has managed to defuse potential rows. One big one that was looming was over the EU referendum - would Mr Corbyn, who had appeared lukewarm during the leadership election, go against almost all his MPs and push for a UK exit?
Had he done so, he would have risked mutiny from his MPs and resignations from his front bench. But last month, under growing pressure to clarify his position, he told the BBC while policy was "developing" he could not foresee a situation where Labour would campaign for a "Brexit" under his leadership.
Labour appears united in its opposition to tax credit cuts, and on one of Mr Corbyn's flagship pledges - rail re-nationalisation - after the leader said he would adopt the line-by-line approach put forward by Andy Burnham in the leadership contest.
The nucleus of Mr Corbyn's support lies away from Westminster, in the party's wider membership which propelled him to his overwhelming victory in the leadership contest. Given the lack of support for the leader among the Parliamentary party, some MPs fear they will be ousted as party candidates by Corbyn supporters.
This fear has been fuelled by the creation of a new group, Momentum, which aims to capitalise on Mr Corbyn's victory and create a "mass movement for real progressive change".
Former shadow Cabinet member Mary Creagh is among those to suggest the group could lead to a purge of those in the centre-left of the party, and MPs voiced their concerns during Monday night's Parliamentary Labour Party meeting. Corbyn-supporting MP Richard Burgon, who was reportedly heckled at the meeting, has said his colleagues have "nothing to fear" from Momentum, which will not be "inwardly meddling".

Question: Nicola Sturgeon has called for unity against far-right politics in a speech at the European Greens conference.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

The first minister told the summit in Glasgow that supporters of progressive values needed to "stand up and be counted" to fight against xenophobia.
The event brings together local Green parties from across the continent.
Elsewhere at the conference, Scottish Greens co-convenor Maggie Chapman said her party would back Ms Sturgeon if she presses for an independence referendum.
The Scottish Greens support the SNP in maintaining a second independence vote as an option over the Brexit negotiations, while Holyrood's other parties - the Tories, Labour and Lib Dems - are opposed.
Ms Sturgeon held talks with UK Chancellor Philip Hammond at Holyrood on Thursday, with the Scottish government aiming to secure a beneficial deal when the UK leaves the EU.
She told the conference that Scotland "may lie at the edge of Europe, but it has always been - and wants to remain - at its heart".
She said: "As Europe grapples with the defining issues of our age - the largest refugee crisis since the end of the Second World War, the growth in inequality and the impact of climate change - now more than ever independent nations across Europe must work together.
"Support for far-right politicians is on the increase across Europe. That should be of deep and profound concern to us wherever we live.
"These are not simply cases of a candidate whom we don't like winning an election. Their politics are totally hostile to the notion of equality for all. Rather than tackling the key challenges we all face - they only seek to exploit them. I know many of you, like us, feel real anxiety about this.
"I don't pretend to have all of the answers - none of us do. But I know this. We must not sit back and let this happen. Doing nothing is not an option.
"Now is the time for all of us who believe in progressive values to get out and fight for them like never before. Now is the time to stand up and be counted."
Earlier, Ms Chapman told conference delegates that the Scottish Greens would not "stand by" and let Scotland be "dragged" out of the EU.
She said: "We voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU yet we face being dragged out against our will by an uncaring Conservative government that we did not elect.
"We will support moves by the Scottish government to prepare legislation for another independence referendum, if this proves necessary.
"However, we are still willing to consider, along with others in the UK and beyond, whether other options short of independence exist that respect the mandate for Scotland to remain in the European Union."
Other opposition leaders have criticised Ms Sturgeon over her talk of independence.
During the previous day's session of questions to the first minister, Labour's Kezia Dugdale said "the NHS is stuck in the waiting room while the first minister plots a second referendum".
With the SNP's "listening exercise" on independence drawing to a close earlier in the week, a spokesman for the Scottish Conservatives said it was time for Ms Sturgeon to "finally pay heed to what Scotland is saying - 'no' to a second referendum and 'no' to more division, more uncertainty and more rancour".
The Chancellor Philip Hammons has urged Scottish parties to stop "clutching at straws" and focus on getting the best possible deal out of Brexit.
He said: "I look forward to us moving on from this slightly backward looking, clutching at straws, trying to resist the will of the people to embracing it, recognising it's going to happen and committing to work together to make sure it's done in a way that is most supportive of the UK economy and the Scottish economy."

Question: Training company Learndirect has been branded by Ofsted as "inadequate" - the worst rating the watchdog can give.

Inspectors found not enough learners achieved the skills and qualifications to progress in work and education.
It also found teaching performance was not managed well by the firm, which has more than 70,000 trainees in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Learndirect, which had tried to block the report's release, said it did not accurately reflect its performance.
The company, which is one of the UK's largest adult training providers, had obtained an injunction against the publication of the report, but this was lifted by the High Court on Monday.
On Wednesday the government announced it would gradually wind down its contract with the firm, ending in July next year, over concerns about standards.
Ofsted rated the company as "requiring improvement" in five areas - including the quality of teaching, learning and assessment - and "inadequate" in two areas - its apprenticeships and outcomes for learners.
Its inspection in March judged Learndirect to be "inadequate" overall.
Ofsted found that the performance of Learndirect's subcontractors was not managed rigorously enough, with the result that apprentices who trained with them achieved "significantly less well" than those who were trained by Learndirect.
Too many 16 to 19-year-olds failed to complete their programmes and too few adults secured employment when they left Learndirect, Ofsted found.
The quality of teaching at the company, which employs more than 1,600 staff, was also criticised in the report.
Tutors and assessors failed to develop learners' and apprentices' English and mathematical skills well enough, the report said.
It also found they failed to use the assessment results of learners' prior skills to plan learning effectively.
The teachers did not provide helpful feedback at reviews to enable learners to improve their work and skills, Ofsted said.
However, tutors were judged to have provided good support for adult learners.
Ofsted also said new senior management had begun to tackle weaknesses and there were "early signs of improvement".
Learndirect said it was "financially stable" and would continue to meet its contractual obligations and the needs of learners.
The company said it had made improvements since the inspection and had rising learner satisfaction scores and success rates.
A spokesman added: "We maintain that the process behind Ofsted's report did not provide an accurate reflection of the current quality of Learndirect Limited's training and performance due to the unrepresentative sample size and the use of legacy data."

Ofsted's latest report said the region had the largest proportion of schools requiring work, compared to other areas in England.
It also found the region had the lowest number of schools rated as outstanding or good.
Nick Hudson, from Ofsted, said the profile of schools in the region was lower compared to others in England.
The findings were based on inspections of 21,050 educational institutions, including nurseries, primary and secondary schools, special schools and pupil referral units, across England from 1 October to 31 December.
It follows a report in December which found secondary schools in Yorkshire and Humber were among the worst in the country.
Out of 2,145 schools inspected, 453 required improvement and 62 were deemed inadequate.
The report states 65 of Bradford's 201 schools need improving, along with 42 of the 141 schools inspected in Doncaster.
In East Yorkshire, 41 out of 148 schools need improvement as well as 17 of the 58 schools in North East Lincolnshire.
Councillor Ralph Berry, executive member for children's services at City of Bradford Council, said urgent action was being taken to drive up school standards.
The report has prompted criticism from former Ofsted inspector Marvyn Moore, from Sheffield, who said the inspection process was deeply flawed.
He said: "The outcome of inspections depended on the registered inspector who was leading the inspection and whether they wanted a quick job... whether they wanted a thorough job or were thoroughly disenchanted with the school."
Mr Hudson said parents relied on inspections to make decisions on which schools to send children.
He added: "Ninety per cent of feedback after inspections say head teachers are satisfied with the inspection process."

Question: Concerns that changes to AS-levels will harm university admissions are unfounded, the schools minister David Laws has argued in a letter to Labour.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Government analysis has shown that GCSEs are slightly better predictors than AS-levels of whether a student will get a good degree, writes Mr Laws.
Labour says it will reverse many of the coalition's planned A-level changes in England if it wins the next election.
From 2015 the government says AS-levels will not count towards full A-levels.
Under the changes new A-level courses to be taught from September that year will depend on linear exams taken after two years in the sixth form.
AS-levels will still exist, but as stand-alone exams.
Many universities base their offers of places to students on the results of AS-levels which are taken in the first year of sixth form study. Students also use the results to decide which subjects to take as full A-levels.
Decoupling the two sets of exams would reduce the importance of AS-levels and the plans have drawn criticism from many teachers and universities, including Cambridge, which argues that they will "jeopardise over a decade's progress towards fairer access".
Earlier this month, Labour's Shadow Schools Minister Kevin Brennan pledged that Labour would not support a "policy that undermines both rigour and equity".
The government has argued that A-levels and AS-levels in their current form do not help students develop a deeper understanding of their subjects.
Now government statisticians have cross referenced GCSE and AS-level results with degree results, looking specifically if top school exam results are accurate predictors of a degree at 2:1 or above.
"The analysis showed that knowing GCSE results alone allows a university to correctly predict whether a student will receive a 2:1 in 69.5% of cases," writes Mr Laws in a letter to Mr Brennan.
He added that AS-levels alone correctly predicted the outcome slightly less frequently in 68.4% of cases.
"Knowing AS-levels as well as GCSEs does not add significantly to an admission officer's ability to predict outcomes. Knowing both increases the prediction accuracy only slightly from 69.5% to 70.1%", concludes Mr Laws.
He argues that GCSE and AS grades both "record essentially the same information about the student: their general academic intelligence and willingness to work hard."
"Once you know a student's exam results in one set of these exams, you learn little by knowing the results in the other set of exams," he argues.
He says that this is why he government has decided to prioritise additional teaching and learning over additional time devoted to exam preparation.
He argues that the government's plans will "help move us away from the current state of affairs in which English students are subjected to constant streams of exams".
A spokesman for the University of Cambridge said the government analysis did not reflect its own research where AS scores were found to be a better predictor of success than GCSEs.
"But this is about more than just the admissions process, loss of AS- impacts on student choice, flexibility and deprives them of the chance to apply to university with confidence.
The spokesman added that some 10% of Cambridge entrants do very well at AS-level despite poor GCSE performance.
"If offers were to be based on GCSE results these students would not present a true picture of their ability, nor of their positive progress in sixth form.  Around 75% of this group come from state schools and colleges."
Mr  Brennan said: "The minister's response to my letter falls short of the mark.
"His plans will undermine widening access to university. They will narrow choices for young people. A linear exam at the end of a two year course is not always the best way to assess learning.
"In pursing these socially regressive plans, he is damaging the learning opportunities for young people."

It comes as 21 Birmingham schools are investigated after allegations of a takeover plot by hardline Muslims.
The Guardian says Ofsted is to rate one, Park View academy, as inadequate.
The Department for Education said all schools were required to offer a "broad and balanced curriculum".
Separately, Education Secretary Michael Gove said free schools were "proving an enormous success".
The school inspections follow claims hardliners were trying to take over some Birmingham schools, following the emergence of a so-called "Trojan Horse" letter - believed by some to be a hoax.
The document alleged there was a group of conservative Muslims attempting to usurp school governing bodies.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme Mr Hunt said there needed to be a "local director of school standards" rather than trying to oversee schools from Whitehall.
Free schools and academies are independent of local authority control, and receive direct funding from the Department for Education.
Later in a speech to the centre-right think tank, Policy Exchange, Mr Hunt said no school should be judged "as good or outstanding" by Ofsted unless it delivered a "broad and balanced" education.
Under Mr Hunt's proposals, this requirement would be added to the core criteria against which schools are assessed.
The Ofsted report into Park View is expected to say the secondary school failed to adequately warn its pupils about extremism - two years after the school was considered to be outstanding by the education watchdog.
"How you can go from outstanding to inadequate? And that's because the inspection criteria is not fit for purpose," Mr Hunt told the programme.
This is not the first time in recent days that Labour has criticised the government over the fallout from the Birmingham schools allegations.
But the shadow education secretary, Tristram Hunt, is attempting to broaden the attack, focusing on the oversight of all free schools and academies in England.
It taps into a long-running political argument about the concept of free schools - and whether they can be kept in check centrally by the Department for Education rather than by local officials.
But the education secretary has robustly defended his sweeping changes to England's schools - changes which are central to his vision for education.
He will specifically address the question of oversight of schools in Birmingham when the Ofsted reports into the schools at the centre of the allegations are published next week.
Mr Hunt also accused the government of "incompetence" over its handling of the alleged Trojan Horse plot, saying the education department had failed to act when concerns about lack of oversight in schools were raised in 2010.
He said: "He [Mr Gove] must come to the House of Commons on Monday and place on record why he refused to act on warnings, why he rejects the evidence of the need for local oversight of schools, and why he thinks that more of the same is the answer."
In his own speech to the Policy Exchange, Mr Gove said claims that free schools and academies could go wrong "more quickly" were "the opposite of the truth".
"Academies and free schools are more accountable than local-authority maintained schools," he said.
Mr Gove was also asked on Saturday if he was considering his position in light of the row with Home Secretary Theresa May on how best to counter the threat of extremism in schools, to which he replied "no".
The two ministers have clashed over the handling of the Birmingham allegations, with the Home Office publishing a letter accusing the education secretary of failing to act.
Earlier, shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said she believed neither Mrs May nor Mr Gove had got to grips with the issue of extremism.
She said there had been a lack of co-ordination across government, with the Department for Communities and Local Government being marginalised.
Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood has been asked to investigate the row between the home secretary and the education secretary.
Salma Yaqoob, a former Birmingham city councillor and the ex-leader of Respect, criticised the "hysteria" surrounding the Trojan Horse allegations.
She told the Today programme the "trickle" of leaked Ofsted reports, including Park View's, had "thoroughly damaged the reputation of Birmingham's schools and children", while there was still "no evidence" of a radical Muslim plot.
In a statement, the Department for Education said it was vital the Birmingham investigations were carried "impartially, without pre-judgment".
On Mr Hunt's criticism over free schools and inspections, it said: "All schools, including academies and free schools, are required to offer a broad and balanced curriculum.
"Ofsted's inspectors already consider how this is delivered and pupils' social, cultural, and moral development when deciding a school's rating."

Question: Danske Bank has again upgraded its growth forecast for Northern Ireland as the economy has performed better than it expected after the EU referendum.

The bank now expects growth of 1.2% this year compared to the previous forecast of 0.8% and an original forecast of just 0.5%.
However, it expects the growth rate will slow to 1% in 2018 as inflation hits household spending power.
Many economists have revised short-term forecasts after the Brexit vote.
Danske Bank economist Conor Lambe said: "There were a number of positive data releases for Northern Ireland which pointed to a very strong end to 2016.
"And, on the whole, the data for the beginning of 2017 suggests that the economy continued to grow during the first three months of this year.
"Taking all this into consideration, we have revised our forecast for economic growth in 2017 up to 1.2%, though we do anticipate a slight slowdown in 2018."
Mr Lambe said that despite increasing inflation, he still expects consumer spending to drive growth this year.
He is forecasting growth of almost 3% in the hospitality and leisure sector and more than 2% in the retail sector.
Meanwhile, a survey of 315 chartered accountants across all sectors of the Northern Ireland economy suggests they believe Northern Ireland's economic prospects are weakening.
The survey by Chartered Accountants Ulster Society found that its members regarded political uncertainty and Brexit instability as key issues likely to affect the economy over the next 12 months.
Cuts in government spending, concerns around the increasing cost of doing business and rising inflation also featured as negative factors affecting Northern Ireland's economy.

The Fraser of Allander Institute reckons that growth this year will be 1.9%, the same as its forecast for last year, for which official data has not been finalised.
That is a reduction on the 2.2% forecast for 2016 that it published in November.
For 2017, the forecast has fallen from 2.5% to 2.2% in those past four months.
The economists at the Strathclyde University institute warned that growth was too dependent on household spending based on credit, which they said was unsustainable.
They explained that the benefits of cheaper oil had not fed through to the economy as strongly as the harm it had done to the energy sector itself. The sustained low price was further pulling back on investment plans.
The economists argued that this month's Westminster budget should avoid a further squeeze on spending, as tax revenues appeared to fall short of previous expectations.
Prof Brian Ashcroft, author of the regular Fraser of Allander reports, said that would slow growth further and worsen the flow of tax revenues to the exchequer.
The report said that job creation should continue but forecasted a slower rate of growth. The central forecast for net employment increase was 36,800, whereas in November, it was 45,000.
The report also warned of the effect of the UK being taken out of the European Union, following the referendum in June.
It claimed the uncertainty about the outcome of the vote would have a negative effect on investment.
Its analysis of the European choice was that "it is difficult to imagine that it would help improve Scotland's competitive position to our trade with the EU".
It noted that the fall in electronics and other manufacturing exports had meant Scotland already found it hard to penetrate open EU markets.
The Strathclyde report said Scottish exporters would find it more difficult if the trade arrangements were changed. Also, productivity could be slowed, when it was already relatively weak.
The latest report from Fraser of Allander noted that the Scottish economy still benefited from low inflation and low interest rates and earning power had been increasing slowly.
However, it reflected on the strength of Sterling, making imports cheaper and exports more difficult. That factor had weakened in recent weeks, though trade had been slowing globally.
It said growth had been depending too much on rising and unsustainable household debt.
Paul Brewer, a senior partner at PwC which sponsors the Fraser of Allander reports, said: "The potential for the forthcoming budget to exert further fiscal tightening, oil price uncertainty and the uncertainty surrounding the potential outcome of the EU referendum, together create a difficult environment for business and investor confidence."
He suggested the UK Chancellor could help the economy with a further cut in tax on oil producers.
At sector level, the analysis said the service sector was the driver of growth, although financial services showed little sign of recovery to pre-recession levels.
The production sector had contracted in the most recent official data, and construction had ceased to be the driver that it was of Scottish growth.

But this is not the latest NFL game at Wembley, rather it is the equally bone-jarring mixed martial arts event in Manchester staged by the UFC, the leading promoter in a sport known in street vernacular as "cage fighting".
Casino owner Lorenzo Fertitta and his brother Frank bought the UFC - the letters stand for Ultimate Fighting Championship - for $2m (Â£1.24m) back in 2001. Since then its value has soared and it now generates $500m a year in revenues.
From being a sport with a limited TV audience, it is now shown in close to 150 countries, in 28 languages, and broadcast to one billion homes.
But why did the brothers decide to buy into a sport that was on the ropes at the time?
"It was a combination of business sense and love of sport. I thought it had good business potential," says Lorenzo, 44.
He said that coming from Las Vegas, he had seen many great boxing bouts in a city dubbed Fight Town - from Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes, to the golden era of the late 1970s and early 1980s featuring Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran, and then into the Mike Tyson era.
"But when I looked at boxing, I felt it was a broken business in many ways, with a short-term vision from a business perspective," Mr Fertitta says.
It is a business that has been around for 100 years, makes millions in revenues, but has no real brand value, he adds.
"Then we came across the UFC and felt there was value in the brand."
He said that the UFC brand had transcended the sport it promotes - mixed martial arts - and that "by establishing regulations, and improving health and safety, we could really build something".
"Combat sports are one of the few that can be transferred across a global stage," he adds.
"Sometimes sports - cricket for example - just don't travel well. We take two world class athletes, and let them use the martial arts they want."
After their purchase, the Fertittas regulated the sport, looked after the fighters, introduced marketing and sold TV rights.
In the ring they eliminated the fouls that had caused US senator John McCain to once call it "human cockfighting" - including eye-gouging, groin attacks, and head-butting.
"We took a step back, we knew we were dealing with a sport that had a controversial background," says Mr Fertitta.
"We crafted rules and regulations. We looked at Olympic Games combat sports, and took the rules and regulations from Olympic boxing, Greco-Roman wrestling, taekwondo, and judo.
"That is our sport, a combination of those four. The Olympics defined our health and safety rules."
He says that based on revenues and profitability, the UFC brand is now in the top echelon of global sports franchises, alongside the likes of Manchester United, the Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees.
Current big name sponsors include Gillette, Ford, P&G, and Disney.
The UFC's core base of fans are males aged 18 to 34, but in some markets, notably Brazil, there is a strong female interest.
He says the sport - helped by a strong social-media presence - is creating fans in a different demographic from boxing, which he says is increasingly seen as "your father's sport".
UFC mixed martial arts has a healthy pay-TV audience in the US and Canada, and a growing viewership in Brazil, where many of the top fighters are from.  In North America the UFC is now looking at establishing its own viewing channels.
Whereas previous strategy has very much been aimed at the US, their global ambitions are now turned to Asia and Europe, with BT Sport signed up for regular TV programming in the UK.
"Local programming in prime time - that will broaden audience access, and help us break through to our British fan base," says Mr Fertitta.
To grow the sport, the UFC a year ago hired Gary Cook - the former chief executive of Manchester City football club - with responsibility for the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region, and whose brief includes getting more coverage on to primetime slots.
He is also in the process of organising a series of European fights in major cities such as London, Berlin, Stockholm and Istanbul.
Next year, a successful American gym business is also being exported to Europe, where people can practise different martial arts under one roof. There will be a tie-in UFC fitness DVD, and there are also high hopes for an EA computer game coming out early next year.
Back in the US, there are a couple of flies in the ointment - the refusal of New York state to sanction the sport,  and allegations by some fighters that they are not fairly paid.
Mr Fertitta puts the New York impasse down to a dispute about union representation in his Las Vegas group Station Casinos spilling over into the New York legislative process.
On fighter pay, he says: "You get paid for performance. You don't hear the guys who are successful complaining. We also have a vibrant 'middle class' of fighters - guys who will never be world champion, but still make a good living."
Two of the top fighters competing in Manchester on Saturday, will be in the bout between American Mark Munoz and Brazilian Lyoto Machida, with the latter replacing injured UK fighter Michael Bisping.
Mr Fertitta does not believe the British fighter's withdrawal will hit attendances at the Phones 4U Arena event.
But he adds: "We don't just want to be another American sport that rolls in and rolls out again, we want to create a truly European sport, with homegrown talent for a homegrown audience."

A lot has changed since the New York Giants took on the Miami Dolphins on a wet October night seven years ago.
No longer a footnote in the consciousness of British sports fans, the NFL now sells out England's national football stadium on a consistent basis.
But what's next for the sport in the UK?
It all started with the first league game ever held outside North America.
From that single match the International Series has grown and developed.
This year we've seen three sell-out games each watched by more than 80,000 people at Wembley.
Since 2007, more than half of the league's 32 teams have travelled to London to play with more coming next year.
The league's UK office has shown it's capable of meeting the logistical challenges of hosting the games.
We know the boss of the NFL wants a team based in London permanently. There's talk that it could happen in the next 10 years or so.
It's all part of the NFL's plan to widen the appeal of the league globally to help it make more money.
And it's not just cash for the NFL, a recent report estimated the move could also be worth around Â£100m a year to local businesses.
To reach that goal there are obvious logistical challenges to be sorted out but what about the emotional ones?
Watching the games at Wembley, you see a crowd peppered with jerseys from all 32 NFL teams.
So in order to create a viable, vibrant team based here the big challenge in the next few years will be working out how to get those same fans to come together behind one identity or to at least be willing to share their allegiances.
And then there's the issue of what you would call the team? London Royals is one suggestion on Twitter, don't be surprised if the market research starts soon.
Currently there are just four British-born players making a living in the NFL.
Having more of them playing consistently in the league is one way of giving the fans more reasons to keep coming to watch. But that's easier said than done.
At the moment around 3,700 adults play competitive American Football in the UK. There are also around 4,000 people either in playing or coaching in the university American Football set up here and more than 1,000 under-19 players.
Putting more effort into increasing the participation at these grassroots levels is one way of making sure that there are more Jack Crawfords and Menelik Watsons playing in the league in the future.
The pitch at Wembley has often been talked about as a problem that needs sorting in the future.
Players have often slipped and lost their footing, questions have been asked about it in post-match press conferences and analysts talk about it before the game.
It's also an issue for the other teams who play their respective sports at the stadium.
Given how the pitch gets cut to shreds after an NFL game, England boss Roy Hodgson recently questioned the scheduling of the Dallas Cowboys v Jacksonville Jaguars match just six days before his side take on Slovenia there in a Euro 2016 qualifier.
So with more games coming Wembley's way, getting a new pitch installed will surely have to be considered? Maybe a similar design to the one recently installed at the Millennium stadium in Cardiff?
Whatever happens next in the NFL's development here in the UK, it's safe to say that we'll be seeing more helmets and shoulder pads at Wembley in the near future.

Question: A strong earthquake in the Aegean Sea has killed at least two people on the Greek island of Kos, officials say.

The 6.7-magnitude quake hit 12km (seven miles) north-east of Kos, near the Turkish coast, with a depth of 10km, the US Geological Survey said.
At least 20 others were injured on Kos, a popular tourist destination. Some buildings were damaged.
In the Turkish city of Bodrum, several people were injured as they tried to flee the quake.
Pictures on social media showed people in the city walking with water lapping their ankles and localised flooding, and about 70 people sought hospital treatment for minor injuries.
The earthquake struck at 01:31 on Friday (2230 GMT Thursday).
Turkey and Greece sit on significant fault lines and are regularly hit by earthquakes.
One of the deadliest in recent years hit the heavily populated northwest of Turkey, in 1999, killing some 17,000 people.

The worst casualties were in and around the south-western city of Kalamata, where a disabled woman aged 63 and a man of 80 died in their basement homes. A 90 year-old was also found dead.
Another woman was missing after abandoning her car in floods in northern Greece.
The floods destroyed homes and businesses and swept cars out to sea.
Emergency services rescued a Romanian woman and her two children at Igoumenitsa on the north-west coast.
The flooding hit towns and cities from Thessaloniki in the north-east to Sparta in the south.
Pictures shared on social media showed vehicles stacked on top of each other in narrow streets in Kalamata, the second most populous city in the southern Peloponnese region.
Kalamata Mayor Panagiotis Nikas told Reuters news agency that he had "never seen anything like it".
"About 140mm of rain fell in an hour this morning. Can you imagine that?" he said.
The flooding was so severe that cars were washed out to sea on the outskirts of the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki.
South of the city, at Mihaniona, rescue workers were searching for a woman in her fifties whose car was found abandoned after her husband said she had become trapped by rising waters.
In October 2015 flash flooding in Athens swept away cars and motorbikes and caused a building to collapse.

Question: Drivers will face long delays at ports and tailbacks on the roads if Brexit is not handled properly, an assembly committee has warned.

Its report said urgent action was needed to avoid disruption.
AMs on the cross-party external affairs committee also said they were disappointed by how little contact there had been between the Welsh and Irish governments to discuss Brexit.
The Welsh Government said it would look at the report and respond formally.
The committee's report has looked at the impact of leaving the EU on Wales' 32 ports - seven of which are considered major ports.
It said having a soft border in Ireland but a hard sea border between the Republic and the UK could "severely disadvantage Welsh ports and result in a loss of competitiveness leading to a displacement of traffic from Welsh ports, principally Holyhead, to ports in England and Scotland, via Northern Ireland".
The committee said it was "extremely concerned" that Welsh Economy Secretary Ken Skates has not met counterparts in the Irish government to discuss Brexit.
AMs said freight companies could send cargo to Northern Ireland from Scottish and English ports, instead of sailing directly to the Republic of Ireland from Holyhead, Pembroke and Fishguard.
It is not currently known what type of border would exist between Britain and Ireland.
The ports are estimated to contribute Â£1bn to Wales' economy.
"Urgent action will be necessary if our worst fears - of lengthy delays at our ports, disruption to wider supply chains and tailbacks on our roads - are to be avoided," the committee said.
There are also warnings about the "technological and logistical challenges" if new customs checks are needed and about whether ports would be able to cope with border controls.
Committee chairman David Rees said: "Welsh ports directly support 18,400 jobs and many more besides.
"At the moment, Holyhead and Fishguard both work on the premise of seamless travel from one side of the Irish Sea to the other for goods and people.
"We learned that many Welsh ports lack the physical capacity to accommodate new customs and border checks, which could have an unwelcome effect including increased delays and congestion."
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said the report's finding that Economy Secretary Ken Skates had not met Irish counterparts to discuss a way forward was "damning".
"It's yet more evidence of a Labour government which is happy to sit on the side-lines complaining - rather than taking a positive and proactive approach to making Brexit work for everyone," he said.
A Welsh Government spokesman said it had "set out clearly our priorities for Brexit" and stressed any changes to migration and customs rules "would have an immediate and major impact at Welsh ports".
"As the economy secretary made clear in his evidence to committee, tariffs, the wider fiscal regime and customs arrangements are reserved matters for HMRC," he said.
"We have been calling on the UK government to ensure that - if they continue to insist on an approach to Brexit which would take the UK out of both the single market and the customs union - customs arrangements, which are the ports sector's key concern,  are proportionate to support so-called 'frictionless' trade and do not in any way disadvantage Welsh ports.
"We have also pressed the point that the UK government needs to provide funding for any additional requirements that Welsh ports might require as a result of arrangements post Brexit,  including infrastructure."
The spokesman added it would continue to "engage closely with the sector on the potential threats and opportunities that Brexit presents for ports" and continue to work with other partners, including its counterparts in Ireland.
The UK government's Brexit department declined to comment.

The Channel Tunnel operator tweeted that the shuttle had been stopped following the incident on the French side at about 05:00 BST.
The death comes days after about 150 migrants tried to storm the Channel Tunnel terminal in France.
Passenger services have now returned to normal following earlier delays, Eurotunnel has confirmed.
John Keef from Eurotunnel said: "Migrants were seen onboard a truck shuttle approaching the tunnel at about half-past-five this morning.
"We brought the shuttle to a controlled stop [and] cut the electrical power overhead.
"Police conducted a search at the end of which they found a migrant dead from injuries sustained probably from trying to jump on to the shuttle."
It is the second migrant fatality in as many weeks following the reported death of an Eritrean while trying to get on a train at Coquelles last month.
Operation Stack, where lorries are parked on the M20 and non-freight traffic diverted off the motorway, was re-introduced from 13:00 BST according to Kent Police.

He added the cost of the disruption was running into "hundreds of millions of pounds each week".
Damian Green, the Conservative MP for Ashford and former immigration minister, said Calais was "the problem".
"[Migrants] should not be allowed anywhere near the trains or the tracks or the trucks," he said.

Question: Rick Parfitt has said he won't return to Status Quo in any performing capacity.

The 68-year-old had a heart attack in June and was forced to pull out of the band's autumn tour.
The band will only perform acoustic shows after the current tour, and Parfitt said he won't take part.
"No. I don't think I really want to," he told Classic Rock's Dave Ling. "In my heart I'm a rocker... If I'm going to make music it's got to rock."
Parfitt added: "There would probably have been room for me if I decided I wanted to, but I'm not a great fan of the whole acoustic malarkey. It doesn't float my boat.
"What I am disappointed in is missing the last of the band's electric shows."
Band manager Simon Porter said Parfitt "died" for several minutes after an attack that left him with "mild cognitive impairments".
Parfitt said he is now "fully recovered".
"As the weeks pass I'm better and better. I don't know whether I will be able to improve on that because I feel as well as I did when I fell over."
He has been replaced by Richie Malone in the band. Parfitt said he was doing a great job and wished him "all the best".
He added that the band have his blessing for any future plans.
The guitarist has had a number of health issues in recent years, including a throat cancer scare in 2005 and a heart attack in 2011.
Status Quo cancelled a series of gigs in 2014 after Parfitt was told to rest by doctors, following surgery to correct a problem with the quadruple heart bypass he underwent in 1997.

In an oddly-worded statement, the star said: "I am required to state that I am no longer a member of the band".
He did not indicate why he was leaving, but blamed "circumstances beyond my control".
The group, who scored hits with True and Gold, broke up acrimoniously in the 1990s but had reformed in 2009.
The remaining members put the blame for the latest split on Hadley's shoulders.
"Much to our frustration, Tony had made it clear in September 2016 that he didn't want to work with the band anymore," they wrote on their official website.
"This has not changed and 2015 was the last time we were able to perform or work with him. So we have now made the decision to move on as a band."
Formed in 1976 as The Cut, they cut their teeth in the punk era, before emerging as one of the planet's biggest pop bands - engaged in a fierce rivalry with fellow New Romantics Duran Duran.
Following their first hit - 1980's To Cut A Long Story Short - they released six studio albums and had 10 UK top 10 singles, topping the charts with True in 1983.
Spandau's original split came after the five-piece fell out over money.
In 1999, Hadley, saxophonist Steve Norman and drummer John Keeble sued guitarist Gary Kemp for a share of the band's songwriting royalties.
Kemp, who played in the band with his brother Martin, wrote all of the hits, but the other musicians believed they had a gentleman's agreement to share the profits, in recognition of their musical contribution to the songs.
The case went to the High Court, where Kemp won. He later described the battle as "like walking away from a car crash - you're glad to be alive but mortified and shocked by the wreckage".
The band were back in court three years later, arguing over the right to use the name Spandau Ballet. Hadley, Keeble and Norman lost again and had to tour under the humbling name of Ex-Spandau Ballet.
By this point, Hadley was not on speaking terms with the Kemp brothers, and for a number of years a reunion seemed like an impossibility.
In 2007, the singer told the Daily Express: "I know you should never say never, and bands in the past have said hell would freeze over before they got back together, but in our case I think hell is frozen and we still wouldn't do it."
Naturally, they reformed two years later, hosting a press conference on HMS Belfast in London, the scene of a landmark early gig in 1980.
Since then, they have toured the world, headlining the Isle of Wight Festival and producing a documentary about themselves called Soul Boys of the Western World.
They even recorded a handful of new songs for the 2014 album The Story - The Very Best of Spandau Ballet.
More recently, the band have been playing solo shows; while Martin Kemp appeared as a judge on the BBC show Let It Shine.
Hadley's decision to cut ties with Spandau effectively puts an end to any future reunion.
His full statement read as follows: "Due to circumstances beyond my control, it is with deep regret that I am required to state that I am no longer a member of the band Spandau Ballet and as such I will not be performing with the band in the future."
Fans on Twitter responded by quoting some of Spandau's more memorable lyrics.
"Say it's not True!" wrote one. "Communication let them down," added another. "He didn't need this pressure on," noted a third.
"You'll notice it [the statement] is only one sentence," said Scott Taylor. "I think @TheTonyHadley found it hard to write the next line."

Question: Face-to-face information is needed as part of a major upgrade in careers advice for young people in England, says the National Careers Council.

The council, which advises the government, says that fewer than 1% of teenagers have used a phone line set up to offer them careers advice.
There are worries that pupils lack an understanding of the jobs market.
Council chairwoman Deirdre Hughes says there needs to be a "culture change" in providing careers advice.
A report from the National Careers Council warns of a disconnect between young people and the world of work, with high levels of youth unemployment reported at a time when employers say they have difficulty recruiting suitably qualified staff.
"It is clear that there is a mismatch between the career aspirations of young people and the reality of the jobs market," says Dr Hughes.
Skills Minister Matthew Hancock says the report sets out an "ambitious new path for how careers guidance needs to progress".
The report, calling for improvements in careers information, says there are more than a million young people who are not in education, employment or training while the CBI says half of firms have problems finding staff.
"It's clear that business, the education system and government must raise their game," said Sir Roger Carr, the CBI's president.
"Young people need the skills that employers demand - we cannot afford to waste talent when the long-term economic outlook is so challenging."
There are also concerns that a lack of accessible careers information is a significant barrier to social mobility, with advice much more widely available to wealthy, well-connected youngsters.
"This is particularly important for the two million young people who live in workless homes and often don't have the 'soft networks' - contacts via family and friends to the world of work," says the report, An Aspirational Nation.
The report wants an expansion of the National Careers Service, set up last year. And it calls for face-to-face advice to be available for all pupils from the age of 12, rather than providing advice via a phone line or website.
The careers service is described in the report as a "well-kept secret", with many youngsters not aware of the help available.
There were 34,000 phone calls received by the helpline service in the year to March 2013 and similar numbers of emails, web chats and texts, from an age group of more than four million youngsters.
Face-to-face advice from the National Careers Service is not available to young people and is only offered to adults.
Malcolm Trobe, deputy general secretary of the ASCL head teachers' union, said that for younger teenagers it was a "big ask to pick up the phone to a stranger and say that you don't know what you want to do with your life".
"In a face-to-face conversation with someone you know and trust, it's much easier to draw things out, to explore different career paths and to see how it's possible to channel your interests and skills into a job."
The ASCL leader, Brian Lightman, said there should be guaranteed "access to high quality careers provision to all young people regardless of where they live or where they go to school".
Susan Burke, head of careers at a secondary school on Merseyside, said that the practical problem can often be that without good personal advice young people don't know how to begin finding out about the range of jobs available.
Too often students' understanding of work will be limited to a narrow range of jobs that they have come across in their own lives.
Even the terminology of certain types of work will be confusing, she says.
"How are students meant to know where to look?"
Responsibility for careers advice has been handed to individual schools - a decision which was criticised by a report from MPs on the education select committee earlier this year.
The cross-party report warned that careers services showed a "worrying deterioration" and called for urgent improvements.
Ms Burke says that schools trying to save money might put careers staff on to part-time contracts, working against the idea of giving careers advice a higher status.
Nick Chambers, director of the Education and Employers Taskforce charity and an associate member of the National Careers Council says: "As a country we are doing our young people a huge disservice if we don't give them enough information to allow them to make informed decision about their futures.
"Far too many young people are having to make vital and incredibly important decisions about their futures without access to good and reliable information."
Tristram Hunt, shadow minister for young people, said: "Michael Gove and David Cameron are pulling up the ladder of opportunity after them. With almost a million young people unemployed, undermining careers advice is short-sighted and incredibly self-defeating."
Skills Minister Matthew Hancock said: "Last year we created the National Careers Service to provide professional advice; and give schools and further education colleges a powerful new responsibility to secure independent careers guidance for their students.
"This report sets out an ambitious new path for how careers guidance needs to progress - to inspire, motivate and inform - and I look forward to working with the National Careers Council to consider the detail of their recommendations."

It will bring to more than 40 the total number of this new breed of schools, which mix academic studies with work-based training.
The schools are for pupils aged 14 and over and the idea is for local employers to be involved.
The latest involve Barclays, The National Trust, RSPCA and The National Space Centre among others.
About 100 national and local employers are involved.
Supporters say the schools will help young people learn useful work skills and find jobs, but critics say they could limit their options by forcing them down a particular path too soon.
The 13 new studio schools join 15 that are already preparing to open and 16 currently open.
About 14,000 students will go to them in total. All will offer GCSEs in English, maths and science, the government says, as well as A-levels and vocational qualifications, but will offer a "more practical way of learning".
Schools Minister Lord Nash said: "More employers are getting involved in studio schools, demonstrating their commitment to preparing young people - who will be their future employees - for the world of work.
"It is crucial for young people to have the skills and experience vital to employers, both for their own prosperity and to help us compete in the global race."
Chairman of the Studio Schools Trust Geoff Mulgan said the announcement was "very good news" for young people and employers.
"Young people learn better when they're tackling real life problems, and they learn better when there's a clear line of sight linking what they do in school to future jobs and careers," he said.
The schools will offer GCSEs in English, maths and science, the government says, as well as A-levels and vocational qualifications, but will offer a "more practical way of learning".
They are similar to University Technical Colleges (UTCs), which are also for young people aged from 14, and part of the government's strategy to improve vocational training. UTCs will offer more advanced technical training, the government says.
But teaching unions have attacked them, saying they are adding unnecessary diversity to the education system and forcing children to make important life-decisions at too young an age.
One of the new schools, Dorset Studio School in Dorchester, will focus on environmental and land-based studies and is backed by groups including the National Trust,  RSPCA and the Royal Veterinary College.
Another, Sir Frank Whittle Studio College in Leicestershire, will specialise in engineering, retail and logistics and hospitality and leisure.
A third, Space Studio Banbury in Oxfordshire, will focus on space, science and maths, with the involvement of The National Space Centre, UK Space Agency and European Space Agency.
The other studio schools planned are:
•Apollo Studio Academy in Durham, specialising in Stem (science and maths) subjects, health, care and early years and with the involvement of the NHS Northumbria Healthcare Foundation Trust.
•De Salis Studio College in Hillingdon, which will specialise in business and finance and be supported by Accenture, PWC, and HMRC, among others.
•Future Tech Studio in Warrington, specialising in ICT, with involvement of National Nuclear Laboratories, Barclays Global Technology Centre, and Talk Talk.
•Island Studio School on the Isle of Wight, jointly proposed by Southampton City College and the Isle of Wight Council, specialising in marine manufacturing.
•Knutsford Academy: The Studio in Cheshire East, specialising in digital technologies and "employability skills"; links with Barclays, Deloitte and Manchester Airport.
•Manchester Creative Studio, led by the founder of the Collective Spirit Free School in Oldham which is due to open in September this year.  It will specialise in the creative industries, particularly in design, interactive media and digital technology.
•Studio West in Newcastle, proposed by Kenton Academy and with links to various local employers.
•The Bath Studio School, proposed by a group of five schools; specialising in business, IT and administration.
•The Digital Studio College in Derbyshire, proposed by Derby College and backed by local employers including Age UK.
•Vision Studio School in Nottinghamshire, proposed by West Nottinghamshire College; specialising in health, care, engineering and transport and backed by employers including Sherwood Forest NHS Trust and Ilkeston football club.

Question: Are we witnessing the final races of two long-serving former world champions?

And which drivers might Ferrari, McLaren and Williams target as they attempt to bridge the gap to the all-conquering Mercedes?
Sebastian Vettel is definitely staying for 2017, but the team have to decide whether to keep the 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen, whose contract ends this year.
This is a prime seat. It's not a Mercedes, but it is the next best thing at the moment. And Ferrari have their own special pull.
In my opinion, Ferrari should look at a change. In fact, I think they should have done so last year. I can see why they didn't given the new management and technical structure was still bedding in, but things have settled down now and they have to build towards the future.
Whether you like it or not, Raikkonen, who turns 37 in October, is not the future. He is a former world champion, but his best performances are in the past.
The last driver to win the world title with Ferrari, the Finn's form has been questionable since he rejoined the team in 2014. He was comprehensively out-paced by Fernando Alonso that year - and by Vettel when the four-time world champion arrived in 2015.
Raikkonen has improved this season, but has he done enough? I keep looking to the Spanish Grand Prix, where he was second behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen. He never applied enough pressure when he had the chance to chase the Dutchman down, not once showing his nose to Verstappen.
In reality, the question is not whether Raikkonen is good enough to keep his place at Ferrari - it's whether there is someone better.
Lots of drivers have been linked with them over the last few years. Among them was Nico Hulkenberg, who was on Ferrari's list when they re-signed Raikkonen for 2014. In fact, I understand 28-year-old Hulkenberg got as close as signing a Ferrari contract - it just wasn't signed by Ferrari.
But the German has been out-shone by Force India team-mate Sergio Perez this year, especially in the last few races. Mexican Perez, 26, was a Ferrari young driver not so long ago and has the backing of billionaire Carlos Slim Jr, who is on the board of tobacco giant Philip Morris, the team's biggest sponsor.
Williams driver Valtteri Bottas has also been linked to Ferrari, but, as with Hulkenberg, is not a compelling candidate right now. Then there is Romain Grosjean, who moved to the new Ferrari-backed Haas team this season with the hope of getting on to the Italian team's radar.
Without doubt, Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo would be the strongest option. If I was at Ferrari, I would have approached him after Monaco, where strategy errors cost him victory for the second race in succession. But it would be hard to get him given he is under contract.
Beyond that, the only other potentially available driver who I think would do a good job would be Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz. He is quick, strong and consistent. The 21-year-old also speaks Italian, so would fit in nicely. Although Red Bull say they have taken up their contractual option on him and plan for him to stay at Toro Rosso next season, there is not an obvious progression for Sainz within Red Bull, as they will be sticking with Ricciardo and Verstappen as their senior drivers next year. So Ferrari would be an appealing option.
In my view, Ferrari's choice seems to come down to Sainz or Perez. I think both of them would be a better option than Raikkonen. Longer-term, Ferrari have some potentially very good drivers in their academy in Antonio Fuoco and Charles Leclerc. They should also look at GP2 front-runner Antonio Giovinazzi, who had a double win in Baku.
The choice at McLaren is much more straightforward. Alonso, 34, is under contract until the end of 2017 and his team-mate will be either Button or reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne.
Button, champion in 2009, clearly wants to stay in F1, but the decision is not his. In my view, it is a slam-dunk in favour of Vandoorne.
McLaren say they are waiting until September to make the decision, which is when new chief executive officer Jost Capito is expected to finally join from VW. In reality, though, I suspect the decision is as good as made already.
Vandoorne has youth on his side and performed exceptionally well when he made his grand prix debut in Bahrain earlier this year, standing in for Alonso, who was ruled out by injury. The Belgian flew in from Japan on the Friday morning but out-qualified Button and went on to score a point in the race.
McLaren have an ageing driver line-up right now. Alonso and 36-year-old Button have three world titles between them, but those were all won several years ago and they cannot trade on them now.
Both need to perform - and they are undoubtedly doing that, especially Alonso. But Button continues to pull out good performances and results, too. However, Vandoorne is too good a prospect to let slip through their fingers and is the right choice.
Williams are interested in signing Button for 2017 to partner Bottas. The Englishman would replace Felipe Massa and would be a good, solid choice. But whether it is such an appealing prospect for Button is a different question.
As the Renault power-unit has improved this season, Williams have increasingly slipped behind Red Bull. If Honda can sort itself out for 2017, then there is the real possibility of Williams being behind McLaren as well.
That would mean Button could go from qualifying about 12th for McLaren this year to qualifying about 12th for Williams next year. That's not an especially enticing thought after the frustrations of the last two years, but Button loves racing so much that I suspect he would take it if it was on offer.
Button is not the only choice for Williams should they replace Massa. They need someone with experience, but they have that in Bottas, so they could look to youth. Equally, Williams may have to take finance into the equation, too.
They have to balance the books, and they don't have the backing of the big teams. Button would not earn anything like his current $15m salary if he went to Williams - and they may prefer to take a driver who costs less or even perhaps brings a measure of sponsorship to the team.
There is another more potentially enticing team - and that is Renault. They are struggling this year, still suffering from the lack of investment put into this year's car by the previous owners when they were Lotus.
But long-term, as a manufacturer with a commitment to F1 until 2024, they are an appealing prospect. You could see someone trying to lock themselves in there with a three-year contract.
Both of this year's drivers, Denmark's Kevin Magnussen, 23, and Briton Jolyon Palmer, 25, are hoping to be retained. But, at the moment, Palmer's seat is under the most scrutiny. Sainz is an option here, too, as is reserve driver Esteban Ocon.
Finally, the world champions. Nico Rosberg is out of contract at the end of the season but there is next to no chance that he will leave. The team want to keep him and he wants to stay.
Negotiations are ongoing, but there is no real doubt that they will come to an agreement. For a start, Rosberg, 31, does not have any other options that are anywhere near as good. And do you really think Mercedes would let go a driver who has won five races already this season and is leading - and could very well win - the world championship?
If Rosberg wins the title, it is inconceivable Mercedes would want him to go anywhere else. He is a German in a German team, and silky smooth when it comes to being a brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz, an important aspect for the paymasters.
Three-time champion Lewis Hamilton is not going anywhere either, so retaining the status quo is the ideal scenario from an on-track and off-track point of view.
And as much as Hamilton and Rosberg have had fiery moments, it has been containable.

Question: Tens of thousands of Egyptian Coptic Christians have held an overnight vigil in Cairo to mourn the death of their spiritual leader, Pope Shenouda III.

Many wept as they prayed for the pope outside the city's main cathedral.
The vigil was followed by a Sunday morning Mass, with the dead pope's body sat in the papal chair dressed in ceremonial robes.
He died at the age of 88 on Saturday, after reportedly suffering from cancer. He led the Church for four decades.
Coptic Christians make up 10% of Egypt's population of 80 million, making them the Middle East's largest Christian minority.
After attacks on Coptic Christians in recent years, Pope Shenouda had urged officials to do more to address the community's concerns.
A crowd of mourners estimated to be larger than 100,000, spent the night outside St Mark's Cathedral, many weeping as they prayed for the pope.
Thousands queued to see Pope Shenouda, whose body was placed in a coffin before being seated on a ceremonial throne wearing embroidered vestments and a golden mitre, and holding a gold-topped staff.
The government has given Coptic Christians three days off work to prepare for his funeral.
The BBC's Jon Leyne, in Cairo, says there is no timetable yet for the selection of his successor, who will be elected by a conclave of senior bishops.
Tributes have come in from around the world, with Roman Catholic Pope Benedict XVI offering prayers and US President Barack Obama praising Pope Shenouda as an "advocate for tolerance and religious dialogue".
Egypt's military rulers expressed the hope on their Facebook page that his wish of "preserving the unity of Egypt and the unity of its social fabric" would be achieved.
And a senior Muslim cleric, the Grand Imam of the prestigious al-Azhar university, Ahmed al-Tayeb, expressed sorrow and said he "greatly remembers his vision towards Jerusalem and its history".
Pope Shenouda had returned recently to Egypt after seeking treatment abroad.
Our correspondent says he sought to protect his Christian community's position within the Muslim majority by striking a conservative tone and lending tacit support to President Mubarak's rule.
Whoever succeeds him now faces the task of reassuring the Coptic community as the Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood look on the verge of sharing power in Egypt for the first time, our correspondent says.

The bus was travelling to the Monastery of St Samuel the Confessor, 135km (85 miles) south of Cairo, from Minya province when it came under fire.
No group immediately said it was behind the attack.
But Islamic State (IS) militants have targeted Copts several times in recent months, and vowed to do so again.
Two suicide bombings at Palm Sunday services at churches in the northern cities of Alexandria and Tanta on 9 April left 46 people dead.
Another suicide bombing at a church in the capital in December killed 29 people, while a Christian community was forced to flee the town of el-Arish in the northern Sinai peninsula after a series of gun attacks in February.
The Copts killed on Friday had been travelling to St Samuel's monastery to pray.
Their bus was in a small convoy that was stopped on a desert road near Adwa police station by between eight and 10 gunmen wearing military uniforms, officials cited witnesses as saying. The gunmen then fired at the bus with automatic weapons before fleeing in three 4x4 vehicles, they added.
A Christian official in Minya, Ibram Samir, told the New York Times that children had been on the bus and were among the dead.
Mr Samir said a pick-up truck carrying workmen at the monastery was also in the convoy. It is not clear whether it was targeted as well.
Minya governor Essam al-Bedawi said security forces had arrived at the scene and were fanning out along the road to the monastery and setting up checkpoints.
Copts make up about 10% of Egypt's population of 92 million.
Last month's attacks prompted President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to declare a three-month nationwide state of emergency and promise to do whatever was necessary to confront jihadist militants, most of whom are based in northern Sinai.
But many Copts complain that the Egyptian authorities are not doing enough to protect them, says the BBC's Orla Guerin in Cairo.
There is now a real sense of fear, and a feeling of being hunted, she adds.
The Coptic Orthodox Church is the main Christian Church in Egypt. While most Copts live in Egypt, the Church has about a million members outside the country.
Copts believe that their Church dates back to about 50 AD, when the Apostle Mark is said to have visited Egypt. The head of the Church is called the Pope and is considered to be the successor of St Mark.
This makes it one of the earliest Christian groups outside the Holy Land.
The Church separated from other Christian denominations at the Council of Chalcedon (451 AD) in a dispute over the human and divine nature of Jesus Christ.
