Call for Papers: Spring 2025 - Lawrence Wishart (lwbooks.co.uk/call-for-paper…)
To mark the publication of @FORUM_journal's new ebook ‘Renewing public education’ join us for an online panel discussion about new thinking in relation to education's purposes. Tuesday 21 May at 6pm. Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/renewing-pub…
New call for papers: lifelong learning / adult education lwbooks.co.uk/call-for-paper…
...And yet something is missing from the debate: a call for a fully-comprehensive education service which is democratic and life-enhancing. The FORUM Board has compiled this ebook in order to raise that call.
This year’s general election may see the Conservatives defeated and the Labour Party returned to power. Such a prospect raises the possibility – and the hope – that education policy in England could take a better direction. It’s a pivotal moment...
Really please to announce the release of our new, FREE ebook, Renewing Public Education: lwbooks.co.uk/product/renewi…
There is still time to get your submission in for our exciting Summer issue - perhaps a letter to the education secretary (or their successor...) about what you would want to see change / done differently in education going forward?
Call for papers! To chime with our latest e-book, Renewing public education: proposals for an inclusive, democratic and joyful system, we invite articles which would bolster such a system. What needs saying to the Education Secretary, or their successor? lwbooks.co.uk/call-for-paper…
"A socialist manifesto for education and beyond" - what might underpin a radical reconfiguration of formal education in England? Perhaps of interest to @UKLabour ? Read it open-access here: journals.lwbooks.co.uk/forum/vol-66-i…
What happens when we promote empowerment in the key stage three history curriculum? Read one of our free-to-read articles from our latest issue here: journals.lwbooks.co.uk/forum/vol-66-i…

We're delighted to announce that our latest issue is now available online. Containing articles from recent M-Level graduates in addition to others, the articles provide a grounded, close-to-classroom, considered critique of a range of issues. journals.lwbooks.co.uk/forum/vol-66-i…
'The Briefing Room' on @BBCRadio4 last night debated the pros and cons of #Ofsted. If you'd like to read more about such debates, you might find our issue: Educational inspection: coercive or responsive? of interest journals.lwbooks.co.uk/forum/vol-65-i…
Equally, Patrick Yarker's blog, 'Comprehensive education means unlearning ‘ability’ and all its works' is important in reminding us of the flimsy (non-existent?) ideology on which selective education systems are based. lwbooks.co.uk/comprehensive-…
No time to read a whole issue or even an article? Then perhaps our blogs will be of interest? Related to this debate, Nuala Burgess' blog, 'Failure by Admission' challenges some important assumptions. lwbooks.co.uk/failure-by-adm…
A fascinating debate - if you're interested in exploring the issues discussed further, you will find rich discussion and debate across the articles in Forum. lwbooks.co.uk/category/journ…
It was an enjoyable and interesting discussion, and @DanielKebedeNEU made strong points about continuing inequality in our system - through existence of the 11 plus and private education. He has a powerful and optimistic vision for high quality comprehensive education.
Want to tell the incoming Government what they should really do about education? Concerned about the workings of 'murky MATs'? Here's your opportunity to share your thinking and spark debate. Forum's call for papers for our Summer issue just released: lwbooks.co.uk/call-for-paper…
The FORUM Journal Editorial Board meets today - looking forward to discussing present and future issues and taking the journal forward. journals.lwbooks.co.uk/forum/
James Whiting and Ian Duckett @SocialistEdu challenge Labour to 'tackle the crisis in our education service by introducing radical change to reverse the damage, ideological and literal, caused by years of Tory rule!' Read more on the @FORUM_journal blog. bit.ly/45fsKdy
