Huge email news from Teacher Pensions! From 1st Oct teachers who started teaching before 2012 will be able to elect for Buy Out and reduce their retirement age by up to 3 years without any actuarial adjustment. This will cost and has to be done within 6 months. Talk to an IFA

WARNING. THIS IS A SCAM BY CRIMINALS TRYING TO STEAL MONEY. PLS SHARE.

This is frightening, it's the first deep fake video scam I've seen with me in it. Govt & regulators must step up to stop big tech publishing such dangerous fakes. People'll lose money and it'll ruin lives.

Either an appallingly proofread SATs paper, or a nasty trick question?
Either is unacceptable!

[sara h 🇪🇺 @lifeatthenest]

This question on 2023 SATS paper is clearly wrong @educationgovuk You cannot put a square number on the line. You’ve obviously realised this so have put an option in the mark scheme whereby children can cross out a part of the question. Every child deserves compensatory mark.

@HackedOffHugh The people who use it to help scan for pre-cancer and cancerous cells, who know the AI tools are now more reliable and accurate than human diagnosticians?

Is someone going to tell Rishi that he’s not in charge of British education (and there’s already a Welsh Baccalaureate)?

I’ll do the call if no one else is brave enough…

Just watched this again. I can't believe how much of this I still parrot; not sure anything has had so much impact upon how I think about how we improve the quality of teaching. Absolute gold dust & worth 40 minutes of your time this weekend. @dylanwiliam https://t.co/5ykr46RfeU

🔴The proportion of A and A*s fell to 36.4%, from a record 44.8 per cent in 2021. However, this was still higher than 2019, when 25.5% of grades were A or A*

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

➡️Around 60,000 fewer A and A* grades have been awarded to this year’s cohort as the Government tries to clamp down on the record grade inflation during the pandemic when grades were assessed by teachers

Let me tell you a story. This is Susan Lung. She taught me to read and write in a single year when I was 7 years old. I've been looking for Susan, hoping to thank her in person, for almost twenty years. And then she surprised me at my reading last night.
