Simon King THIS PROJECT OWES ITS EXISTENCE TO THE MANY KINDNESSES OF THESE PEOPLE This page left blank intentionally Throughout the work on this project, I have frequently returned to a single and overwhelming speculation; the nature of the relationship between the Adult and the Child. Education, despite all grandiose schemes, bureaucratic generalisations and cross-referential subtleties, is about this relationship. Education, as we experience it in ‘civilised’ societies is primarily concerned with the linking of human behaviour to commercial enterprise. I consider the dominant feature of education to be the mass commercial exploitation of the young. The history of human slavery is evidence of our capacity to feel no value - other than commercial value - for other human beings. Our treatment of the young is still characterised by this lack of value. We speak of the young person as ‘the future’, ‘the destiny of mankind’ a ‘spiritual investment’. Such designations are sentimental and ruthless formulas concealing the slavery referred to. It seems to me startling and eccentric to conclude that adult fear and sometimes hatred should so successfully lie hidden within educational policy. The conscription character of schooling, the effects of isolation amongst large numbers of other people, examinations, and destructive forms of competition, are patterns of control.

  • Plymouth College of Art and Design
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Plymouth College of Art and Design July 1995 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are set out in the Council Circular 93/28. During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.

  • University Technology College for Plymouth Committee: Cabinet Date
    PLYMOUTH CITY COUNCIL Subject: University Technology College for Plymouth Committee: Cabinet Date: 21 February 2012 Cabinet Member: Councillor Samantha Leaves CMT Member: Director for People and the Director for Place Author: Gareth Simmons, Programme Director for Learning Environments Contact: Tel: 01752 307161, [email protected] Ref: Key Decision: Yes Part: I Executive Summary: In the Spring of 2011 the Secretary of State for Education announced that a number of University Technical Colleges (UTCs) would be developed across the country. Following this announcement an application process was developed for universities and colleges to submit bids for UTC funding. The closing date was mid June 2011. A consortium of Plymouth University, City College Plymouth - the College of Further Education and Plymouth City Council, developed a vision to promote employer led learning in Plymouth that would be delivered through a UTC. The University, who acted as lead sponsors, City College and leading employers formed a limited company in order to make a bid for a UTC based at a Devonport location. They were supported in this by, amongst others, Babcock Marine, Princess Yachts International, Plymouth Manufacturers Group, Plymouth Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Plymouth Federation of Small Businesses. On 10 October 2011 the Government announced that a number of UTCs would be taken forward including one in Plymouth. The announcement made clear that the Secretary of State hoped that Plymouth UTC would be opened in 2014, but there were possibilities of an earlier start in 2013. Plymouth University, Plymouth City College and Babcock Marine are developing the governance arrangements of what will become a UTC Academy Trust.
