Montreal 2013 is the first global event of the World Congress on Access to Post-Secondary Education. It is also the first step on our journey to build and enact an agenda for change that will ensure more participation also means wider participation and success.
ESRI and the Co-operative College are co-hosting an event that will bring together academics and practitioners to explore and develop the potential of the Co-operative school movement.
The day will feature keynote presentations from world-renowned critical educational scholar Prof. Mike Apple (University of Madison-Wisconsin) and Mervyn Wilson (Principal, Co-operative College), workshops from a range of Co‑operative educational providers, and discussions focused on the practical tasks for supporting the emergence of the Co-operative school movement.
Globally, participation in higher education has risen substantially. According to the OECD ( Education at a Glance 2012) entry rates to university level programmes in OECD countries grew on average by nearly 25 percentage points between 1995 and 2010. Consequently, more than a third of today’s young people have higher level qualifications than their parents and around 62% of young adults are expected to enter university - level programmes over their lifetimes.
Post-2015 Education and Development Agenda - Deadline 30 June 2013
A Special Edition of the Compare Forum is planned for the last edition of this year (43:6) focusing on the Post 2015 education and development agenda.
The University of Glasgow's Learning and Teaching Centre and the School of Education are delighted to announce that we have received funding from the Higher Education Academy for a three year full-time PhD studentship focused on 'evaluating the impact of student-staff co-created curricula in higher education'. The successful applicant will be supervised by Dr Catherine Bovill from the Learning & Teaching Centre and Professor Vivienne Baumfield from the School of Education.
