Tony Blair's Future of Britain conference has come round yet again. I'll try and give you the links to each of the speakers. This first one is Tony Blair speaking to Kier Starmer.

More to come.

Actually, I won't put more on for now. That's quite enough to be getting on with. Once you are on the first one you can probably find the rest. Don't forget this is not about labour people talking, it's about all the brightest and the best people in their areas giving their views and updating us.

DaisyAnneReturns Wed 19-Jul-23 17:31:19

Just as I say I won't put one on, I watch this - it's fascinating. Some will think fascinating good and some will think fascinating bad and some will just think about it but I found it really interesting. This is the little bit of blurb but underneath it.

Our schools collect vast amounts of data on student performance, teaching excellence and school performance – yet waste it.

Bump.

Anniebach Wed 19-Jul-23 21:20:56

Thank you DaisyAnne

DaisyAnneReturns Wed 19-Jul-23 22:03:29

Your welcome Annie. I think these could well appeal to those who liked the Rory Stewart videos.

(I have a feeling it was a two day conference as there were a lot of speakerssmile

Thanks for posting DAR. smile

Thanks growstuff. Even if no one is interested now maybe they well be able to use it as a reference in the future.

This is another insight into where education is going.

I love the idea that this set out to, and appears to be the begining of, "providing not for profit, mission free educstion for any one, anywhere".

From testing early versions of ChatGPT to using it to build an AI learning platform, the Khan Academy has been at the forefront of exploring how generative AI can support learning and teaching. Founder and CEO Sal Khan explains how his globally successful apps can go further, and what the future of education looks like.

I haven't time to watch the videos now but will watch this later with avid interest. It sounds like something which could well be in the individual student's interest. I know that at my child's private school, the way they analysed the test results each half term, they had some idea where a child was at in each subject but it was still a very broad brush stroke approach. I am all for the best educational approach for every child in this country regardless of where the child is educated.

I wouldn't listen to anything Blair said. This is the man who opened the country to mass immigration, and took us into a war that cost the lives of British soldiers, a war that had nothing to do with us and that has brought terrorism to Britain.

JuBut Sun 23-Jul-23 11:54:56

All of this should be about what their strategy is for our future generations!! My grandson is 4 and the way the parties are going, I don't think anything will be good for my grandson when he's older!!! They all want to get their houses in order ASAP!!!

JennyCee Sun 23-Jul-23 12:10:46

EEJit. Agree 100 percent. How can we possibly trust someone like Blair who has put us in the state we’re in now.
Might listen if he were to give some of the millions he has earned to the still injured service men and women.

DaisyAnneReturns Sun 23-Jul-23 12:21:20

The whole of each TBI annual The Future of Britain Conference is simply that JuBut. The Institute brings together all the leaders of the many areas, regardless of country or politics. That is why I share the video links.

You might find the two on the future of education ground breaking.

EEjit totally agree cannot stand Blair

Diplomat Sun 23-Jul-23 12:43:21

Agree wholeheartedly EEjit. That man is the greatest champagne socialist ever. Can't bare to look or listen to him.

DaisyAnneReturns Sun 23-Jul-23 12:48:44

Do watch them when you have time icanhandthemback, there are two on the future of education.

I find it inspiring when someone in the thick of it explains, but very saddening to hear private education in various countries is well ahead. However, once state/public education expands on those who have already adopted it, it could be a great leveller.

The idea of personalised "gap filling" particularly appeals to me as someone who changed schools often, at a time when the curriculum was not the "across the board" set one it is now.

The Future of Health Care ones are also enlightening.

I couldn’t ever watch anything with that war criminal on. He makes my stomach churn.
