SUMMARY:Education in England after 2015:  A Political Debate
UID:{http://www.columbasystems.com/customers/uom/gpp/eventid/}i4h-i6j575k
 3-16rq2z
DESCRIPTION:With the General Election just weeks away\, education looks s
 et to be a key campaigning issue. Debates to date have focused on school
  spending\, class sizes and Academy schools. How would the parties handl
 e these issues if elected in May? And how would they deal with other key
  issues: curriculum and assessment reforms\, the role of local authoriti
 es\, teacher workload and teacher supply\, higher education funding\, or
  youth apprenticeships? Does education in England need a bigger re-think
 ? And if so\, who will countenance it?\n\nAt this event\, local politici
 ans from the three main political parties will present their education m
 anifestos and debate them with a public audience.\n\nSpeakers:\nJonathan
  Reynolds MP for Stalybridge and Hyde (Labour) \nLisa Smart\, Prospectiv
 e Parliamentary Candidate for Hazel Grove (Liberal Democrat)\nSusan Will
 iams\, Baroness Williams of Trafford (Conservative)\n\nCome and have you
 r say. The event is free and open to all. Refreshments will be served fr
 om 4.30pm.\n\nThis is part of the Manchester Education Debates series on
  schools policy: independent and free events designed to provide a space
  for people working in education to shape the political debate.\n\nAgend
