The Curriculum and Assessment Review is looking for suggestions to improve how the education system works in England, and particularly to deliver: excellence in core subjects (English and Maths); a broader curriculum; better preparedness for life; an offer for the breadth of our diverse society; and effective assessment. The call for evidence is open for a few more days - until 22 November. One of the key messages from those that design and assess qualifications for the Further Education and Skills sector is that the options and benefits of employment-driven education needs to be clearer to learners before they reach 16 so that they are better-able to make the choice that best suits their aptitudes and ambitions. They also think that high-quality, independently-verified assessment adds value to the system, and that we should not be fixated on exams as the only valid form of assessment. The Review will welcome views from all - if you want to express your view, it's relatively easily:

Bravo to the International Higher Education Commission (IHEC) Oxford International Education Group Rt Hon Chris Skidmore & all those involved in this report. It is worth noting that there has been no, Non-EU #graduateoutcomes data from HESA: Higher Education Statistics Agency since 2019, & at that point knowing how critical this data would be to the sector Asia Careers Group SDN BHD stepped in immediately to fill this significant data gap. Since then ACG has collected over 70,000 UK international graduate’s #career journeys, for over 60 UK universities & has undertaken this work unfunded by government &/or sector bodies. This data is now readily available to all UK #universities committed to “investing in international #futures” & data can be collected retrospectively for institutions if needed. The annual institution subscription cost is £9,950. Alternatively a report on the entire data set 70,000+ UK Non-EU graduates, could be made available to government &/or sector bodies for £350,000, if there is in fact a appetite to invest on behalf of a UK #highereducation sector under significant financial pressure at the present time. As one can imagine this has been a significant financial undertaking & one #hesa has been unwilling to take on. Let us hope the UK sector is now truly committed to understanding Non-EU #graduateoutcomes & supporting the transition of their #overseasstudents to the workforce both in the UK & even more importantly back in their home countries. Data also exists for all 40 #Australian universities should governments & or sector bodies wish to benchmark UK graduate outcomes against another English speaking study destination. “Graduate outcomes data was also a big part of the report – or the lack of it, which has been highlighted before by other organisations. “HESA stopped calling international students to save costs; the UK government mandated a 10% efficiency saving for HESA, & telephone follow-up… was a significant expense,” the report said, adding that such a decision was a concern for institutions & student bodies. Low response rates also mean a lack of evidence of the #employability of the UK’s #internationalstudents, – a critical decision-making factor for #students who are looking to the UK as a #study destination.” A Universities UK International report found just 3% of international student’s said they’re university #careersservice helped them find a job, up from just 2% in 2019. We all have to do a far better job in making good on our promise to international students & their successful transition to the workforce.

It's been a transformative first half of September, presenting on Embodied Education at two major conferences, one at Oxford University University of Oxford (@aleftrust & @eurotas.world Creative Bridges 2024 see previous posts) & then yesterday at York St John University York St. John University (at #NDinHE2) My message : we are bodyminds & therefore need to create hospitable environments for all bodies, all sensory profiles & nervous systems, in educational, learning & sharing spaces, to improve accessibility, service provision (the quality & outcomes of teaching & learning), student & staff engagement, health & wellbeing. And this requires a paradigm shift from top down - mind dominant to bottom up - body first design, & relational approaches, which centre self, co- & collective regulation.
