Schools' Minister David Miliband will speak at the national Learning
to Learn conference on 24 March in London. The Minister welcomes the
Campaign's work in this area, 'for the evidence it provides of the impact
of 'learning to learn' approaches on raising standards, pupil motivation
and teacher morale'. See the Events page for
more details and how to book a place.
Who do kids learn from - Mum, Dad, Billy Mitchell or David Beckham?
Thanks to the support of Select Education, this question and others
will form the basis of a nationwide survey of school children's attitudes
towards school and learning experiences. The Campaign hopes to find out
just how schools are performing according to the children they exist to
serve.
"The MORI survey presents a golden opportunity to investigate the views of children in schools. I am pleased that Select Education's sponsorship will result in valuable information for use by anyone keen to improve the learning experiences of children", says Bob Wicks, Chief Executive of Select Education.
