Education Reform

Seeking to reverse years of political corruption of education

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

Schools must reject budject cuts.

They must send a clear message to government that you destroy what you cut too far.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

The introduction of T levels sounds excellent to me.

For technical education to gain some parity with academic, at long last.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

Choice - this Tory obsession with choice - derives from market thinking. That want competition, not collaboration between schools.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

Tory party believe that school choice is the key to a good education.

There was me thinking it was all down to the teaching.

FT in 2013 : “Net effect of #grammar schools is to disadvantage poor children and help the rich.”

@LynOReilly In Finland, the top in the class are held back far less than the bottom are lifted up. Low streams in UK entrench failure?

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

#Tory proclamation that #Grammars will help the poor succeed is spin - a smokescreen for creating elite education streams.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

Am I correct in saying that streaming in schools tends to help the few at the expense of the many?

Finland tends to avoid it.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

@CondurJ Yes. Teachers also even more so. And so evidently unnecessary : teachers overloaded and childhood development stymied.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

I wish we would follow Finland’s lead and adopt a cross-party agreement that defers to education experts.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

@C0NNECTEDC0ACH Politicians imposing on all what worked for them, devaluing and marginalising all but academic subjects.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

@CondurJ Politicians are desperately too narrow in their views ever to be involved in sculpting the education system.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

Toby Young on Radio 4 sees schools teaching latin as a good thing. Ever the elite favouring academia, never for hands-on skills.

@AnnabelYoxall @fairfundschools Would be good if politicians truly recognised why people sign such petitions. They tend to remain unswayed.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

@AnnabelYoxall @fairfundschools How was Saturday? I hope it had a good turn out.

[Annabel #SaveTheNHS @AnnabelWoky]

@Educ_Reform Saturday 25th Feb = National Day of Action by parents re @fairfundschools Watch us on social media #schoolsjustwannahavefunds

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

@AnnabelYoxall Yes. Tories cut via ideology that wants the state to be as tiny as possible so lower tax bill for the rich. Anti-society.

[Education Reform @Educ_Reform]

Government has no plan to tackle ‘worsening’ #teacher shortages.

Discipline problems: is it surprising when children, bursting with energy & excitement, are confined to the spot like battery chickens?

George Monbiot brilliantly exposes deep flaws in the nature of schooling :
