@mikip555 @ForumStrategyUK The 1980s community education movement gave schools real community purpose. We lost it. Place-based education & locality leadership are our chance to put it back at the centre where it belongs. This is so important for community regeneration and the future of our young people.

Smart city infrastructure can be used to improve public services. But it can also be used to limit public dissent, violate privacy, and strengthen authoritarian tendencies. New paper looks at China's involvement in smart cities in the Middle East:

Fewer people read regularly, despite the proven benefits of improved mental health & wellbeing, & educational and cultural enrichment. Investment in school & public libraries would help, as would encouraging more parents to read to their children. https://t.co/0ATyDOZYyd via @ft

'The wealth of the world’s richest increased by $34trillion since 2015. If we took that money - not their entire wealth, just the interest on their wealth over ten years - we’d end global poverty 22 times over' 👇

I am concerned about the increase in special units being created in mainstream schools under the banner of ‘inclusive education’. I am told by DfE insiders that politicians love it. My worry is that, in some contexts, this may be yet a further move to segregate some learners.

Why do so many schools sit empty after 5pm? Let’s design them as community hubs — with crèches, 4G pitches, gyms, & flexible spaces for all. Health, childcare, education & sport under one roof = savings + stronger connections. Schools should serve everyone, not just students.
