Yesterday I had the great honour of graduating the @kingsbschool class of 2023. The great Soraya Berry @scribbler1888 pointed out I looked a bit like a muppet. Not for the first time.

26 years ago, I was picking up my graduation gown. Today I’m graduating other people, which is weird and wonderful.

Social care is overlooked by government, under-resourced & lacks an institutional identity. It’s an increasingly challenging profession to work in with an underinvested workforce. Yet it delivers social inclusion to the most marginalised. Time for recognition, investment & reform

Some very important talking points on student experience in this podcast. What does it mean to be a student? Have we lost the benefits of doing nothing? What does an outcomes-based system mean for how we value higher education? We must keep talking about this.
Last week on Wonkhe: This week on the podcast the marking and assessment boycott is picking up pace, and the LLE has been in the Lords buff.ly/3CK4kvZ

The @__onequestion report on “Is Education The Answer” is out! I’m lucky enough to work with the team there as well as @MWW_PR who sponsored the report. Love the way people are starting to challenge the way that business and societal discourse takes place. lnkd.in/eCSBYPWn

Someone just told me that being back at work suits me. They are probably right.
