🗣️ We’ve held over 2000 #BigEdConversation in 35 countries discussing the purpose of education. They have often reflected a disconnect between the #education system and the aspirations and needs of young people. How can the education system support young people better? Tell us ⬇️

We love this cartoon that highlights the drawbacks of the ‘one size fits all’ #education system. The system doesn't value individuality, and young people’s well-being often comes at the cost of doing well in high-stakes exams 🫶🏻 Anyone know who the artist is? #WednesdayWisdom

Really enjoyed today’s @BigEdConvoEng led by fantastic young people @WinsorPrimary. Pupils, parents, teachers, governors, councillors and the broader community coming together on an equal platform to share their thoughts on some really big questions. @bigchange_ @HeadsUp4HTs

At #BigEdConversation, we ask a range of stakeholders what they think the purpose of #education is because we believe that education is everybody’s business ✊ Here’s what a student at a Big Ed Conversation in Blackpool had to say💙
