Thank you for joining us, Dr. Waters 💖 It was truly an insightful discussion!
A pretty impressive view from this morning’s @Policy_Connect evidence session with @DerbyUniVC on EdTech & regulation. Always a pleasure to spend time with many clever people with such good policy ideas for the sector! Huge thanks as ever to @HwangAlyson for expert coordination.
I'll be heading to Derby for this roundtable event on competency centered learning and teaching. Are current approaches to university degrees effectively preparing graduates for the workforce? 🤨
Our team is heading to @DerbyUni for a roundtable session to discuss education for employment - focusing on employers' perceptions of blended learning. If you are an employer and have thoughts on the current approaches to learning in universities, get in touch!
ALT We are hosting this evidence session as a part of the ongoing inquiry into Blended Learning, as conducted by the Higher Education Commission. For more information email [email protected]

Under normal circumstances, I do my best to ignore the 20th Dec. Its the anniversary of when, as a 16-year-old in care, I was kicked out by my foster carer via a note on the kitchen table. I never really got over it. But in the wake of yesterday's shocking judgement depriving

Removing charitable status from private schools would raise £1,700,000,000.
That's almost twice what's needed to fund my #FreeSchoolMealsForAll Bill, giving all primary school pupils a healthy meal every day.
Should we protect private school tax breaks or feed hungry kids? 🤔

Today I asked ChatGPT about the topic I wrote my PhD about. It produced reasonably sounding explanations and reasonably looking citations. So far so good – until I fact-checked the citations. And things got spooky when I asked about a physical phenomenon that doesn’t exist.

A careful & insightful review of "Intimate Accounts of Education Policy Research: The Practice of Methods" that identifies interesting threads among the chapters. The volume includes a chapter I wrote based on my DPhil research among policy elites.

Apparently “Dr” and “woman” do not match on British airways. Looking forward to their reply.

Inequality has risen sharply in the US since the 1980s. This article shows that about 50% of the observed changes in the wage structure are due to the effects of automation technologies on workers with low levels of schooling econometricsociety.org/publi…

University life in China, 1980s, very familiar to me, I was in the campus from 1987-1991.

Weird to blame Bernie for #RoeVsWade being overturned instead of Barack Obama who actually had the power to codify, but instead used his majorities in Congress to pass Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan, made the bush tax cuts permanent, and bailed out his Wall Street donors

Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
