Episode 32: 21st century skills & UK schools

In today‘s episode I am joined by Matthew Lovett, a former
headteacher, now an inspector of schools in England and school
governor. He shares insights into a couple of major changes in
education in England over the past years, some differences
between the independent and state sectors, the growing need for
critical thinking skills, a student-led approach to teaching
engineering in a prep school, why trainee doctors are being
taught art, the importance of debating, and the current state of
language teaching among other things. Do listen in to hear what
he has to say!
