Inside Your Ed20 years on - is it time to revisit the '14-19 Diplomas'?On the 16th of May, EDSK published a new report called ‘Evolution and revolution’, in which we set out a 10-year plan for reforming primary and secondary education in England. Our plan included, among other things, a Baccalaureate for all 14 to 18-year-olds that would bring academic, applied and technical courses together under one roof as well as everyone studying Core English and Core maths, otherwise known as literacy and numeracy, up to age 18. Bold as these proposals may sound, we do not pretend to be the first people to make such suggestions. In fact, two decad...2024-05-2228 minInside Your EdWhy adding VAT to private school fees is more complicated than it soundsIn the current education policy landscape, the debate over adding VAT to independent school fees is by far the most high-profile dividing line between Labour and the Conservatives. That said, the question of what would actually happen in practice if Labour won the next election and tried to implement this policy has received remarkably little attention in political circles. That is why at the beginning of March, EDSK published a new report that outlined the findings from our investigation into the obstacles that a future government may face if it tried to add VAT to...2024-03-2631 minInside Your EdHow and why have 'academy schools' evolved over the past quarter of a century?On the 15th of March in the year 2000, then Education Secretary David Blunkett invited businesses, churches and voluntary groups to build and manage a network of "city academies", a new type of urban secondary school outside the control of local authorities. Little did David Blunkett, now Lord Blunkett, know that a quarter of a century later, there would be over 10,000 academy schools in England educating over half of all school pupils. In January this year, EDSK published a major new report called ’20 years of muddling through’, in which we argued that the government has ended up ru...2024-03-1442 min
The School Leadership PodcastWhat next for the school system?It is more than two decades since academies were first introduced to the English education system, and around half of all state-funded pupils now attend one. Yet, in its new report 20 Years of Muddling Through, think-tank EDSK argues not only that the language around academisation has become too politicised, but that the system itself is unsustainable.
Here, Tom Richmond, EDSK’s founder and director, speaks to NAHT assistant general secretary James Bowen about why he thinks it’s time we leave behind the political baggage and build a coherent, collaborative and transparent system based on the principle of ‘...2024-03-0640 minInside Your EdTime to radically reform the way that we fund Higher Education?Ever since the Labour Party moved away from its plan to scrap university tuition fees, the debate over how to fund Higher Education, or HE, has gone rather quiet. Step forward Dr Mark Corver, the Managing Director and co-founder of dataHE, who wrote an article for the Higher Education Policy Institute at the start of November that set out an entirely new vision for how we could fund our HE system: https://www.hepi.ac.uk/2023/11/08/funding-undergraduate-higher-education/ So how does Mark want to reform HE funding? What trade offs and tensions do his proposals generate? And...2023-11-2948 min
FE News on the goVET in FE: Where do we go from here?VET in FE: Where do we go from here?This article represents the fifth and final one in the ‘VET in FE’ series. It discusses the FE occupational/vocational education appropriate for the 21st century by offering seven pertinent solutions.This article is the fifth and final in the series – VET in FE. The opening publication argued that the proliferation of VET qualifications and the divide-and-rule concept provided needless segregation in the English FE landscape and that the sector required a re-assessment. The second article offered an alternative framework of connections with other education sectors while retaining the FE sector’s charac...2023-11-1309 minInside Your EdHas the time come to say 'time is up' to written exams?As always, the month of May signals the beginning of exam season, with students around the country facing various challenges such as GCSEs and A-levels. Given the high-profile nature of these tests, EDSK has just published a brand new report called ‘Examining exams’, in which we looked in detail at why written exams have come to dominate the assessment landscape and also, perhaps more importantly, whether any other form of assessment such as coursework could and should be given a greater role in future. To delve into the upsides and downsides of the use of writte...2023-05-0436 minInside Your EdThe Schools Bill is dead - what happened, and what now?Almost exactly a year ago, EDSK released an episode of this podcast about what the Department for Education should put into their upcoming Schools White Paper – which would set out the government’s plans to reform the state school system in England. The White Paper was then published in March 2022, and in May some of the plans in the White Paper were converted into the Schools Bill – which was essentially the new legislation required to implement a number of the government’s reforms. Just seven months later in December, the Schools Bill was dead, having encountere...2023-02-0938 minInside Your EdWhy are so many apprentices dropping out of their training?On the 27th of November 2012, the then Coalition Government published a major review of the apprenticeship system in England, which had been led by the entrepreneur Doug Richard – hence the title ‘the Richard Review’. The Review put forward a wide range of reforms to the design, delivery and funding of apprenticeships – all of which were intended to raise the quality, and eventually the quantity, of apprenticeships.On the 28th of November 2022, almost exactly ten years after the Richard Review was published, EDSK released a new report that investigated whether the quality of apprenticeships has indeed improved...2022-12-0137 minInside Your EdHow can we prevent young people from falling out of our education system?As the UK economy slowly emerges from the pandemic, the government has already begun withdrawing many of the schemes that it introduced to support young people over the last two years. This includes the demise of the Kickstart programme, which subsidised jobs for young people who were unemployed, as well as the incentive payments for employers who recruited apprentices during the pandemic. But the truth is that for some young people, their difficulties are far from over. Even a return to life before the pandemic will not be enough to improve their chances of making a su...2022-05-1942 minInside Your EdWhat role do wealth and privilege play in university admissions?The ‘Varsity Blues’ cheating scandal in the United States, which began almost exactly two years ago to the day, is one of the most astonishing education stories in living memory. The rich and famous, including Hollywood actresses, hedge fund managers and a number of chief executives, paid vast sums, sometimes over a million dollars, to fraudulently boost their children’s prospects of getting into the most prestigious US universities. Mercifully, we are unlikely to witness a scandal of this scale and brazenness in this country. However, that does not mean all is well with our universi...2022-03-0946 min
