UK Education News

The UK Education News blog is an online forum where readers could post and make comments on the latest current events and news on education in the United Kingdom. Despite the differences in the educational systems in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, we all have a common goal of reading, discussing and sharing news and events that affect the respective educational systems in each of the constituent countries of the UK. Whether it is good news or bad news, all of us should be aware, concerned and involved about the latest news that affect our educational systems not just for our present generation, but for the future generations who would be affected or influenced by the what is happening in our education system today.

You could be a student, academic, teacher or lecturer, parent, or any other individual who wants to be aware and be informed about the current news and events that are shaping the education system in the UK from the primary school level, the secondary school level, and until the higher education level. I am now a first year university student and I am well-aware of the challenges faced by higher education system and its institutions as well as the students who study in them. I and other students are aware of the student protests in late 2010 against the increase of the cap on tuition fees. I am hoping this site would be a forum where we could read and share ideas and comments on the latest news and events about education and schools in the UK.
