Educational governance relates to big-picture, strategic and philosophical considerations when overseeing a school, a programme or teaching, learning and evaluation. It is the "why?" and "why not?", rather than the what, when and how.
Each session in this discussion series considers a single-topic which raises matters realted to educational governance. Prior to each session, we send participants a text or two for pre-reading and to "prime the pump", and during the session we explore the issues and their implications so as better to make decisions or to unerstand decisions which have been taken.
