The government wanted to use the Schools Bill to legislate on issues such as the structure and regulation of academies, school attendance, and school funding.
But the legislation has hit hurdles since it was introduced this year, with peers in the House of LordsIn June, the government gutted its own bill, removing 18 clauses relating to the regulation of academies.The scrapping of the bill is likely to disappoint Conservative MPs who had hoped to use it to overturn a ban on new grammar schools.
"The introduction of a register of children not in school, for example, is something we believe is important to improve safeguarding for children, as is the crackdown on illegal schools," Mr Whiteman said.Julie McCulloch, of the Association of School and College Leaders, said proposals in the White Paper such as the minimum school-week length now appeared "to be in limbo".
Labour's shadow education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said the bill had been the government's "priority". The Conservative Party had "no idea how to improve education" but Labour would end tax breaks for private schools to "deliver thousands more teachers, professional careers advice, and mental-health guidance".
