Dr Paul Cappon
This paper originated as a brief, presented on 01 May 2015, to the UK Secretary of State
for Education, Nicky Morgan MP. It examines the roots and impact of the highly distinctive character of English education.
The paper identifies positive developments and troubling trends for English education, drawing on a review of internationally comparative data. Other strengths and weaknesses are recognised through qualitative analysis in subsequent sections.
It goes on to outline some points of convergent thinking gleaned from discussions with key informants in educational institutions, business and industry, with researchers, and in government.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
