Filed under:   Do you have an opinion on what is taught in schools today? Do you care what and how children will learn? Would you like a chance to join in the debate on the future of education? If so, the National Curriculum Review meeting is a must-attend event.
This free, non-commercial forum will be jointly hosted by the Pearson Centre for Policy and Learning and BrainPOP UK, and is designed for anyone with an interest in the National Curriculum Review for England (NCR) recently announced by Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Education.
As well as attendees sharing their thoughts and feedback about what should be taught in schools, there will also be keynote speakers who will each give five minute talks on their view of the curriculum. Afterwards, attendees will be invited to attend ‘table debates’, each focussing on a specific theme or topic. There will be someone at each table facilitating the discussion and another recording the conversation, with this data then being submitted, untouched, to the government’s curriculum review body. As the event is intended to be completely neutral, all political views are welcome.
Chris Bradford, Chief Operating Officer at BrainPOP UK, comments:
‘The National Curriculum Review is a gauntlet thrown down by the Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove. His department is going to review the National Curriculum for England and has asked for public input, YOUR input, to help shape that shake up.
The Oxford NCR event is a chance for anyone with an interest in what’s taught in schools to contribute their thoughts about what and how future generations are taught. It’s not an opportunity to be missed as educational change ultimately echoes throughout society, and you have a right to be part of the debate. Come along. Have an influence. Get involved.’
The National Curriculum Review meeting will take place at The Sports Pavilion, Jordan Hill, Oxford on Wednesday 30 March 2011 from 6pm until 8pm and, as places are limited, interested parties must register to attend here.
