Protecting status through league tables, The Russell Group, and Art & Design shows.
I saw a post in Linkedin last week that, once again, challenged the way I think about Higher Education. In particular, it challenged the way I think about league tables.
So this week, instead of a lengthy piece, I’ve gathered just a few thoughts below in response to the post. Perhaps it will challenge your thinking too?
We also revisit my thoughts on the Russell Group. It seemed timely.
And we learn about Art & Design degree shows - a fantastic opportunity to be inspired, and to see first hand what studying art and design really involves.
Crazy university jargon, the Jumpstart university, and the biggest problem in communication.
This week we attempt to demystify some of the crazy jargon used in university degree descriptions.
We hear about Jumpstart University, a fantastic resource to help you prepare for your studies at university.
And we learn about the single biggest problem in communication.
We need to talk about The Russell Group, Zero Gravity, and the simple truth about high performance.
This week we need to have a word about The Russell Group. It may be every Head Teacher’s dream to have as many of their students as possible go to Russell Group universities, but is there any substance behind it?
We also have a quick look at Zero Gravity, a start-up powering students from ordinary backgrounds into top universities.
And we finish with a universally positive thought from Jake Humphrey, TV presenter and all round top bloke.
