We were delighted to host a discussion about Scotland and Wales’s education reform journeys during the last 25 years, and what could, and needs to, happen next.
With parliamentary elections in both nations on May 7th, this was a chance to hear from educational leaders on the issues that matter.
This panel discussion, a partnership between Enlighten and PolicyWISE considered what Scotland and Wales can learn from each other – successes and challenges – and what might the next period of reform mean for learners and education staff.
The panel included:
Owain Lloyd, Director of Education, Children & Family Services, Carmarthenshire County Council
Laurel Davies, Headteacher Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera Bro Dur
Keir Bloomer, Chair of the Commission on School Reform, education consultant and Chair of the Northern Ireland Independent Review of Education
Carole Ford, Member of the Commission on School Reform, Former head teacher and former president of School Leaders Scotland
The discussion will be chaired by Dewi Knight, director of PolicyWISE
This event will be held via Zoom on Monday 20 April and can be watched back here:
