50 years of Education at York: Public lecture series

A series of evening lectures will be taking place aimed at members of the general public. These will give members of the audience the opportunity to find out more about the work going on in the field of education and how it relates to individuals, families and the wider society.

Lectures start at 6.30pm which will last approximately one hour, including an opportunity for questions and discussion.

There will be a wine reception before the lecture beginning at 6.00pm.

Despite the rhetoric, does education policy reflect more continuity than politicians admit?

There is widespread agreement that schools policy has been subject to constant change over the last thirty years. Those working in the profession often argue that there is no underlying rationale for the change and political whim is the driving force. Yet, the argument is also heard that there is little difference between the education policies the major parties offer. Can both these perceptions be accurate? After decades of change and further revolution promised what is the balance between continuity and change in education in schools policy?
