Education: The Purpose of Education & What The UK Can Learn From Other Countries with Sean Ingoldsby From Bishop Grosseteste University
14th June 2021 @ 11:15 - 12:15
In this session you will consider:
- a range of perspectives on the purpose of education
- the purpose and educational practices of other countries, including Finland and China, and how this might support or challenge education policy and practice in the UK today
- your own thinking about the purpose of education and how best to deliver it.
This will be shared in an interactive, lighthearted way, using collaborative delivery methods, which include online surveys and quizzes. You will be challenged to consider a range of alternative perspectives on the purpose of education and begin to formulate your own views on this.
This session will challenge your thinking on the purpose of education and the reasoning behind the educational system in the UK today. It will provide an interesting introduction to further study in the area of education or a future career, which involves working with young people.
