MPs say "'Chaotic' adult prison education system crying out for overhaul -18 May 2022"
It's so bad someone should write a comedy about it! https://t.co/TrLEj66YRE #CommonsEd #books #prisons #comedy
My husband and I home educate because, after researching all the options, we believe this is the best option for our children and we are in a position where we are able to do this for them #FairHearing4HomeEd #Commonsed
@ofqual @TomBewick Collier says consultation will happen "in the coming weeks". Pressed on it, she says schools and exam boards need to know "very quickly, and before the summer break ideally" #commonsed #coronavirus
@ofqual @TomBewick Collier says the education secretary set the policy, but Ofqual sets the implementation. Says new IT systems have gone live. Tens of thousands of teachers are now inputting their grades. She praises "very hard work" of teachers and exam boards #commonsed #coronavirus
@ofqual @TomBewick She says centre-assessment grades will be in "by the end of the week". Says "one of the first things" Ofqual will look at is whether grades vary by protected characteristics. And then there will be standardisation process #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque @halfon4harlowMP .@cyclingkev agrees students coming out of training to become teachers "could be a good source of people to work on summer play centres and I agree it's concentrating on getting the kids there who will most benefit from it" #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "We aren't being obstructive to wider opening. We've talked about five tests...and we want the government to work with us on how to meet them, as the govt in Denmark is working with Danish teachers" - @cyclingkev #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "We want to get back to schools as soon as it's safe to do so," says @cyclingkev. He says it's not children affected by this, but it's "a question of the impact of schools on community transmission...and vulnerable adults. All of this turns on the science" #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "Jeff Bezos and Amazon have made a lot of money out of our country. Why aren't we delivering reading books to pupils on free school meals, why aren't we delivering art materials to disadvantaged pupils" - @cyclingkev #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque .@cyclingkev says he hopes the virus will be under control enough to bring lots more pupils back in Sept, but says that's not what civil servants are estimating. Says we have to "ramp up" delivery of broadband and laptops "to every child who needs one" #commonsed #Coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque .@Lem_Exeter repeats his call for a national tutoring service, using graduates and undergraduates to help pupils to catch up.
"I don't think it's going to be a normal school year next year"
#commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque .@Lem_Exeter says he's really worried about "wave of anxiety" among pupils due to sit exams next year. Calls for clarity. "No-one knows, so I think clarity over examinations next year is key" #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque .@Zubhaque says she had this conversation with Ofqual, and "it was alarming for us that Ofqual were more concerned about overcompensating students in terms of grade predictions rather than...certain groups of students being underpredicted" #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "I think this year, and this will be controversial, Ofqual needs to relax the grade boundaries. There need to be more children getting all of the higher grades. Where there is doubt somebody should move up a grade not down a grade" - @cyclingkev #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "The onus shouldn't be on parents and students to prove they've been given the wrong grades," says @Zubhaque. "That's an incredible ask for parents regardless of what background or advantages they have" #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "I think there's false hope for people in the idea of an appeal system that looks at bias...and there isn't much hope in the idea of doing the exam to change it," says @cyclingkev. Highlights lack of broadband/devices in poorer households #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque .@Zubhaque raises concerns about complaints/appeals process this year. "There are huge concerns about this exam process because first of all, how do you even prove discrimination?" #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "Runneymede Trust and other race equality organisations as well as academics have raised this issue that teacher training at the moment is not fit for purpose when it comes to issues around race equality" - @Zubhaque
#commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque .@Zubhaque says govt should be doing equality impact assessment "in any case", regardless of whether there's an inquiry into the system. But other issue is around teacher bias and "to what extent teacher training has dealt with that historically" #commonsed #coronavirus
@Lem_Exeter @cyclingkev @Zubhaque "And not to give them guidance as to 1) not only how to do it but 2) to ensure that bias isn't creeping in is an astonishing thing" - @Zubhaque #commonsed #coronavirus
