What’s on your Education Wish List for 2012?

Posted: 08 Jan 2012 02:00 AM PST

On Monday, the Telegraph published an education wish list for 2012. This includes the hopes and dreams of different people involved in education. Some of their ideas include:

  • The abolition of school exams,
  • Trusting teachers more, especially with the teaching of reading to younger children,
  • Changes to teachers’ contracts and requiring them to show how they had improved things each year,
  • More outreach and work experience opportunities for students,
  • Month-long sabbaticals for teachers in leadership roles every seven years.

What is your wish for this year? How would you like to change things in your own classroom or school, or even for education across the country in 2012? Share your thoughts in the comments below…
