We need to get into the heads of the policy makers don’t we? Yet they will be the most resistant. In Australia we have too many people in policy making positions in education that don’t know anything about their portfolio and make decisions that are about as informed as your average citizen on education. The other related problem is that most people are conservative by nature and education is a conservative culture. Like a bad curry it keeps on repeating itself.

I’m in Brussels in May giving some talks to the European Commission on Learning and Development and it is the policy makers that I most want to talk to. I think that’t the right approach.

Schools need to feel empowered to move away from labelling of children who don’t fit the very rigid system we describe as education in the UK and instead adapt the system to meet their school community needs. Learning engagement will inevitably follow, no quick fixes though!
