As we move into the second year of our work at the Foundation for Education Development (FED) and following the launch of the FED National Education Consultation Report, we hosted a roundtable discussion focussed on ‘Innovation or ‘initiative-itis’: How can we move from initiatives to long term innovation in education?’
We asked David Jackson, Senior Associate at the Innovation Unit, to share his insights following his contribution to the roundtable discussion. David suggests that ‘Innovation is the radical edge of learning and for most fields it is an intentional activity – strategically, practically and politically. Not, though, in the UK’s education system.’
