To investigate political activity with regard to educational issues and change

Aim

To investigate political activity with regard to educational issues and change.

Reflection

Education is a constantly changing organism influenced heavily by political policies, media and debates. For this reason it is a good idea to actively review publications such as newspapers, websites and educational journals in order to know exactly what is going on in your sector.

 

Research the most recent news stories regarding education. Is there anything happening that you have particularly strong feelings about? Are there any debates going on and if so what side do you fall on? Does the media appropriately reflect your concerns and if not what could you do to remedy this?
