“Perhaps even more damaging in the longer term will be the social, emotional and behavioural impacts of missing out on classroom learning and formative experiences during the lockdowns.” theguardian.com/education/2022…
Consecutive Governments’ education policy has failed. That’s a bitter pill to swallow; an uncomfortable truth. This isn’t blame, it’s fact. Those in corridors of power scratch heads - where and why and how has it gone wrong? And what do we need to change? A few suggestions:
1. Data is useful but is fallible, riddled with collection bias, blinkered, can lack context & can raise more questions than it seeks to solve. It can dehumanise & lacks qualitative detail, leaving a view of homogeneous data points in place of organic unique unpredictable beings.
As a fledgling org & with attendance & persistent absence largely ignored until we started campaigning in 2018, this has been an eye opening (if not intense) experience for Square Peg and all families wishing to raise their concerns about these areas in #SchoolsBill. But…
…what it’s enabled is authentic & meaningful engagement & participation by the public with the Upper House. Parents & carers have been able to (and will continue to) exercise and leverage their power as constituents & grassroots lobbyists.
This is enormously important as it demonstrates relevance & direct action to ordinary people who may have held an opinion about politics or the House of Lords as being inaccessible or unnecessary.
