British Academy ‘Perspectives on Education’ seminar: Diverse and disparate: regulation, accountability and market forces in English Education
On April 29th the British Academy – for the humanities and social sciences will host ‘Perspectives on Education’ seminar: “Diverse and disparate: regulation, accountability and market forces in English Education.”
The seminar will be on 29th April, 13.00-14.00, with a sandwich lunch from 14.00-14.30, at the British Academy, 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AH. You can sign-up here: https://eventbrite.co.uk/event/16428028676/
Professor Stephen Ball FBA, UCL’s IOE, will be chairing this seminar. Glenys Stacey, CEO and chief regulator, Ofqual, Professor Jenny Ozga FBA, University of Oxford, and Professor Peter Scott, UCL’s IOE, are confirmed speakers.
In a changing landscape of regulation across the educational spectrum, this seminar will address what new systems of regulation for Academies and Free schools upwards look like and the challenges they create. We would like to probe whether there are lessons to be learned from similar shifts in governance and accountability across the educational spectrum, including higher education.
The Perspectives on Education series is a new series of seminars that will be held at the British Academy throughout 2015. We hope to use these lunchtime seminars to attract a range of educational policy makers from across the civil service, think tanks and FE and HE bodies, to engage with topical issues in education policy and provide an opportunity to network. The format will therefore be short and simple: 1 chair and 3 speakers of approximately five minutes each, followed by discussion and a sandwich lunch. We will follow these seminars with a short blog that captures the discussion.
