In memory of Del Goddard: His thought leadership on school improvement had an impact across the education sector. His earlier Teachers Centre leadership provided great learning opportunities for many. @LondonLabour @LondonFabians @labourpress @SchoolsWeek @tes @EnfieldCouncil
ALT This cartoon is in memory of Del Goddard 1946-2024: deputy Director of Education and councillor in Enfield, mentor, innovative educator and thought leader. This extract from Del’s 1992 book “The Search for Quality: planning improvement and managing change” sets out his belief in the role of society in influencing young people’s motivation to learn. “The capital of a nation depends on improving the quality of the education of each generation. The quality of education depends on the quality and motivation of the teaching force but also on the motivation of children. Both of these are directly influenced by the values and attitudes of society.” What does this mean for young people who find themselves in a society where the political party in power pushes NEMESIS values: Nepotisim over meritocracy; Egotism over collectivism, Meanness over generosity of spirit; Entitlement over equality, Selfishness over selflessness; Ignorance over education and Self service over public service.

More illusions of action from a government that doesn’t understand how the education system works. @EduFabians independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Child poverty, underfunding, crumbling school estates, a burgeoning teacher recruitment & retention crisis, lack of support for children with individual needs ... and yet today we got some non-statutory guidance on mobile phones.
To govern is to choose ...

Important story by @patrickjbutler re call for a "National Plan for Childhood". Government's covid recovery plan for schools was "too narrowly focused on academic catch-up," it's claimed here. Hearing this a lot.

Higher education is a key driver of social mobility in this country 📈
Our landmark piece of research showed that low-income students are 4x more likely to become socially mobile if they attend university.
We must continue efforts to widen access 👇

‘A general election is on the horizon [and] a step-change is needed in how government prioritises and invests in children, young people, their families and in public services.’

💰 Funding to help struggling schools deal with rising pay costs represents just a tenth of total school deficits in some areas, analysis shows
In one instance, the allocation for a whole county is less than the deficit of just one of its schools

I’ve had sight of some DfE slides giving some insights into this division’s aims and approach.

After years of funding cuts, Britain now has the largest primary classes in the developed world.
We have more pupils but 3,500 fewer teachers since 2015.
Retweet this to spread the word.

The Government is still claiming that they’re ‘leveling up’ funding for every school.
But 83% of schools in England will be worse off next year than they were in 2015.

This morning, Education Secretary @GavinWilliamson described school funding as being a "bit tight". It's not a bit tight. It's a funding crisis.
Our schools don't need little extras. They need proper funding and reversal of #SchoolCuts.
