Standing room only in Room 14 #UKFIETconf for this morning’s session on Aid financing, fallacies and futures beyond 2020. Keith Lewin from @SussexUni introduces his first fallacy: more money spent on business as usual in the aid world will achieve our aims. @UKFIET

[National Foundation for Educational Research @TheNFER]

.@NafisaBaboo debunks 3 fallacies of inclusive education:
1. Inclusive education begins at school
2. Everything can be solved with a few days of pre-service teacher training on inclusion
3. Providing assistive devices is enough
#UKFIETconf @UKFIET

[UKFIET @UKFIET]

The meaning of #InclusiveEducation has been 'lost in translation'. The 1st fallacy is that inclusive #education should happen in school. It needs to start in the home. @NafisaBaboo @lftwworldwide #ukfietconf

Sad to see the Conservatives treating their own with so little respect. I'm no Tory, but @DrPhillipLeeMP seems to have done a good job as #Bracknell MP and does not deserve to be treated this way https://t.co/WFtSrC3I9d
