The answer to the question is no. I really am not.
A big assignment for our final year is based on our own visions and values on education. A critical piece of writing which will discuss what education means to us. An analysis of government and initiatives in place today and whether we agree or don’t agree with them.
It’s my final year of University and I am so naive to what I should think about education. I feel, after five years, I still have no clue of what is happening in the world education wise. I know that Michael Gove is our Education Secretary and that he is a Tory. I know we have a new curriculum coming into place in 2014. I know the standards have changed. I don’t know a lot else.
I have my own thoughts on education and what it should be for but I know that my view is just one of tens of thousands of peoples. I believe education is there to give children the opportunity to learn, no matter what their needs may be.
I really feel that I do not know enough. This is where you can help.
If you can help educate me politically, please comment. Or tweet me @MissJButt.
I’m not sure if deciding on your vision and values is about being political. It could lead to political action and participation, but I think really it is something you have to do first, then enter the political arena with that fairly clear in your mind. Just my approach…
