Description

Hosted by Professor Paul Ashwin (Lancaster University) and Charles Clarke (former Secretary of State for Education) this seminar explores the urgent question of what we are educating for through the education life cycle by asking:
1. What are the relative roles of policy makers, practitioners and researchers in shaping what we are educating for in primary education?
2. Who should determine what we are educating for in primary education? What are the mechanisms through which this should be determined?
3. What are the current relationships between policy, practice and research in primary education and how might these be improved?
4. What are we educating for in primary education? How does this relate to what we are educating for at different stages and levels of education?
