The Future of our Schools 2010
This free education conference, organised by the TUC, saw education experts debate the government's reform agenda.
The conference aimed to answer a number of key questions about where education is headed:
what do government policies on schools mean for our children and communities?
what are the long-term implications of giving more schools greater autonomy - improved schooling for all or a two-tier system?
does the focus on parental choice empower the majority of families?
what do academies and free schools mean for teachers and other education professionals?
Speakers included:
Lucy Heller, Ark Schools
Emma Knights, National Governors' Association
Sir Alasdair Macdonald, headteacher
Fredrik Mandelin, Swedish Teachers' Union
Fiona Millar
Peter Mortimore
Frances O'Grady, TUC.
