SIR TIM BRIGHOUSE
Time to reset the English Schooling system: We need to trust teachers more
Sir Tim Brighouse argues that there have been two distinctly different ages affecting the English Schooling system – one of ‘optimism and trust’ and the second (which we are still in) of ‘markets, centralisation and managerialism’. He will argue that there are clear signs that we are moving into a new age of ‘ambition, hope and collaborative partnerships’. That will only be achieved however if certain key reforms are implemented to remove ‘failure-inducing practices’ from the system. In conversation with James Mannion.
