The grand challenge of education – the IOE, UCL and the world of educationProfessor Chris Husbands UCL Institute of Education
Education has never been more important to more people than it is today. But it is contradictory: global, yet driven by local relationships between teachers and learners; emancipatory, but it often reinforces inequalities. As the IOE joins UCL, this is a chance to ask about its place in the challenges of the 21st century.Tue 3 Mar
