Education has undergone many changes in recent decades and is continuing to change. Scarcely a day goes by without education news or articles in the press. Many interesting experiments in schooling and higher education are taking place throughout the world, forcing us to reconsider existing approaches. Key questions are: What is our education system aiming to achieve? How can we best achieve this? To what extent does our system achieve this already? How can we improve the system? Other issues are, for example: Should religion / sex education / vocational training, etc. be a part of the school curriculum? Should we have academies / faith schools / grammar schools? What teaching methods are best? What kind of an assessment system should we have? This course offers the opportunity to discuss a selection of those topics that interest members of the class, so please enrol to enjoy the discussion.
