Radical and inspiring ideas for alternative education futures.
What's on
Through this series we bring together a range of commentators - academics, politicians, practitioners, policy wonks - and pushing them to bring some radical new thinking to some of the apparently intractable issues within education, not least the English education system.
This can help all of us reflect on the status quo, celebrate progress but also consider how we might change things for the better to achieve commonly held goals for our education system and what it can do for us all.
Join us in the debate and let your opinion be heard.
We will be live streaming these events. The recordings will be available on our website in both video and podcast format following the events.
