Make a Date in Your Diary!

Wednesday April 10^th 6.30 for 7pm Dr Gareth Evans, Director, Centre for Education Policy Review and Analysis, at University of Wales Trinity St Davids

Is Wales maintaining the proud tradition in education that preceding generations have established? Leaders in the arts, science, medicine, and the law as well as in many other fields have emerged from Welsh schools and colleges over the past many decades but can we still boast the same record? Is Wales equipping its young people to succeed and prosper in the modern world or are we slipping behind? The Pisa results measuring attainment in different countries suggests there are some causes for concern, but do they tell the whole story? How is curriculum reform in Wales working out? Do teachers have high enough aspirations for their pupils? How sustainable are the Welsh universities?

These and other issues will be addressed in an evening devoted to the topic at the London Welsh Centre, 157-163 Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1X 8UE on Wednesday April 10^th organised jointly by the Cymmrodorion and the London Welsh Centre with support from Wales in London and other London Welsh societies. It will be led by Dr Gareth Evans, Director Education Policy, Centre for Education Policy Review and Analysis at University of Wales Trinity St Davids. Under Dr. Evans’ leadership the centre  https://cepra.wales offers itself as a critical friend ready to support policymakers and all those with a stake in Welsh education.

Come along on April 10^th at 6.30 for 7pm for the debate and to let us know your thinking on this crucially important topic for Wales’s future. There is no charge to attend but please register at 10 April: Education Debate in partnership with the Cymmrodorion – London Welsh Centre
