‘Education policy in England is largely designed - and too often implemented - by those furthest from the consequences of its design. Success is measured in pilot schemes, glossy reports, and favourable headlines.’ And in Ireland? #edchatie

My article in today's Irish Times looks at the unintended consequences of the book scheme for the physical books available for students and families. No more doodling, no more handing down books, fewer books in homes.

An excellent piece from @conorsmurf and relevant to all teachers, at all levels.
Wise words from @conorsmurf in today’s Irish Times on the value of physical books for children, and the unintended consequences of the book scheme in Irish schools.

One of the first women to become a physician in Britain was Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (1836-1917). She received education on the wards as a nurse, and then established herself on the medical register through the Society of Apothecaries. She founded the London School of Medicine
