This award is for Canada as a whole and a tribute to our entire hard-working Canada House team. We still have work to do to address old market access barriers, but also exciting new fields to develop in digital, Ai, quantum, critical minerals, nuclear power, defence and security.

Fascinating new report from the World Bank summarising the global evidence on effective reading instruction. "A fundamental insight from reading research is that children do not learn to read naturally—reading must be explicitly taught" https://t.co/yHDcqskM0x

@simonhancock_uk @MichaelBarber9 It will be interesting to see if this solution (50% extra for state CAG) has the power to break through a kind of 'glass ceiling', that of selection into EPP & Academy programs. Or if other solutions are also required to fix the issues you list, notably fixture quality/quantity.

@MichaelBarber9 I agree it would be difficult to see concrete benefits of extra training yet, having only run for 2 years... But perhaps the general demographic data for the whole pathway (CAG, EPP/Academy) should still be public... along these lines: https://t.co/R5Ou0f2YzH

@somersetpodcast @shep23 @SomersetCCC @MichaelBarber9 I note that there is ‘no target or trajectory’ for the professional squad %s. One of the messages from the book Accomplishment (highly recommended) is to ‘’keep tracking the numbers’. Would it be possible to commit SCCC to publish the demographic data for the pathway ...

We talk a lot about recent declines in education. But before 2013 came two decades of historic progress. Let’s remember what worked—and start climbing again. ✍️ @MichaelPetrilli 🔗 https://t.co/G30tXJxFaj

I don’t know if this is a good idea, but as democracies struggle with regulation and bureaucracy killing development and growth, innovating like this is great…. If it works it’s fab, if not we should keep trying.

In today's world, it's structurally impossible for education to be fun. Educators are optimising for engagement and learning, but entertainment apps are optimising just for engagement. It's a game you cannot win. The solution is to change the rules... https://t.co/cTa9X3wCvz
