Join the New Schools Network at the Nevill Holt festival, on Saturday 30th May at 2.45pm.
What should the next chapter of education reform look like? As the world changes at a pace and public expectations continue to shift, fundamental questions about the purpose and design of our school system are once again in focus.
In an age of artificial intelligence, what should education prepare young people for? What role should parents play in shaping their children’s learning? Should diversity and innovation be prioritised, or is it time to return to first principles? Why does the school year still follow a centuries-old calendar – and what role should politicians play in the classroom?
Nevill Holt festival provides a distinctive setting: it attracts an intellectually curious audience from across education, policy and the arts, creating space for ideas to be tested beyond the usual echo chambers. Join leading voices from politics and journalism for a timely and thought-provoking discussion exploring the future of education in the UK.
Featuring:
Lord Gove, Editor of The Spectator and Secretary of State for Education (2010–2014),
Stephen Bush, columnist and Associate Editor at the Financial Times,
