Education and the State

Jim Riley

2nd March 2010

Cambridge University is hosting what look to be some quite interesting lectures on the relationship between education and the state. Speakers will include David Hargreaves, Stephen Ball, Anna Fazackerley, Estelle Morris, John Bangs and Philip Blond. Due to the marvels of ICT the lectures will be available as podcasts. Probably challenging material for AS/A students, so hey, teachers, do your students a favour and guide them through, make a handout, or something like that. I’m sure these lectures will provide some much needed material to freshen up our rather jaded AS/A take on education and the state.
