Spoiler alert: this excellent article on the urgent need to reform GCSE English Literature by English Association fellow and English teacher Freddie Baveystock is not about scrapping Shakespeare! See my 🧵 thetimes.com/uk/education/a…

Join Dr Becky Jinks next Monday (18 November 2024) as she shares her experience of curating the ground-breaking Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership exhibition The Wiener Holocaust Library: ‘Genocidal Captivity: Retelling the Stories of Armenian and Yezidi Women’. buff.ly/3Yb68bS

In case @telegraph readers are interested, this is a response to the story re @CanterbruyCCUni's decision to close its excellent English dept.

The data relating to careers for English graduates tell a very different story to the comments generated by the story. Rates of graduate employment for Arts, Humanities, and Social sciences students are within 1% of Science grads,

and salaries for English grads are some of the fastest-rising in the country, 4th to be precise. English grads are CEOs, work in finance, the civil service, business, as well as in the creative, cultural, education, and heritage sectors.

Check the stats before you dismiss this vital subject that trains its students in the essentials: communication skills, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Its great strength is that it doesn't lead straight to one career - it leads to many.

English researchers also contribute significantly to the economy. CCCU's English dept is the victim of the deeply skewed HE 'market' : young people flock to other depts which are bulging at the seams with English students, while this excellent dept is allowed to sink

Why does this The British Academy work matter? 'If you have a humanities or social sciences qualification, you are more likely to be employed in the fastest-growing sectors of the economy.' Cold spots will damage UK regional economies. thebritishacademy.ac.uk/policy-and-res…

FEA Prof. Antony Rowland (MMU) surveyed English Association Fellows about changing structures of research, developments in teaching delivery, the impact of AI and the ‘contraction’ of the discipline in UK HE. Here is the report: englishassociation.ac.uk/the-state-of-t…

Looks like Pearson (exam board) agrees with Robert Eaglestone and English Association and many amazing teachers on what is needed for GCSE English reform. thetimes.com/article/650773…

Folks, I’ve had a lovely time here (+even met my wife Poppy Corbett on it). It’s been great for connecting with researchers, English teachers + others. But, you know, Nazi salutes + all that. So: not going this second, but in a few days when I’ve had a chance to download data.

Yesterday, the Curriculum and Assessment Review’s Interim Report was released – but in a baffling omission, it doesn’t mention oracy or speaking, listening and communication. Here's why this matters👇 voice21.org/voice21respond…

I haven’t seen the videos yet, but looking at the authorship of this course, and the overview of detail, this looks like it will be extremely helpful for secondary teachers and leaders looking at reading 👌 TheLiteracyCommunity

🧠 What should English really teach our students? According to Robert Eaglestone, it’s about fundamental skills: "Communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity." Not just for school — but for life. 🌍📖 Read more: spr.ly/6019NNskc
