Young people debate education policy
with MPs
HeadsUp online forum gives 11-18 year olds
a say on their education
15 November - 3 December 2010
www.headsup.org.uk
The next HeadsUp online forum will be Education...is
it working for you? The forum is a chance for 11-18 year olds to
discuss the coalition's plans for education such as: free schools, changing the
national curriculum and the issues around university funding. They will debate
with young people up and down the UK as well as decision-makers
responsible for education policy.
Damien Hinds, MP for East Hampshire and a member
of the Education Select Committee will be debating with young people in the
forum. He said:
"What happens
in education shapes young people's life chances - not just by giving
qualifications, but by its power to enrich and make us rounded citizens.
It is also of course vital for the future of the economy. We have to
ensure everyone gets the education that is right for them and makes the most of
their skills and talents, while also enjoying being young!"
