Education policy has always been subject to the vagaries of politics and the current shift by the new Government to more market orientated approaches is nothing new. This seminar will reflect on the relationships between the public and the private sector using the Building Schools for Future initiative as an exemplar of a model which sought to use the private sector as a vehicle to provide infrastructural solutions to social justice In education and contrasts this with some of the recent policy changes most notably the introduction of so called free schools.
The seminar will be conversational and informal and will draw on Dr Kate Reynolds' experience in the public, private and third sectors using real examples of policy - how it is created, how it is implemented and what this tells us about education as a force for social justice.
