Do you have questions you would like to pose to Evan Davis about education? I shall be interviewing him over the next week or so and would like to get your ideas about what you’d like to ask.
Evan is currently presenting a new show on BBC,  Made in Britain which accompanies the excellent book of the same name. He is a presenter on Radio 4’s Today show, BBC TV’s Dragon’s Den, as well as Radio 4’s The Bottom Line. Until 2008 he was the BBC’s chief Economics editor (see his blog).
One of his key points in his book is that, as a nation, we can be extremely proud of our universities which are among our most successful ‘exports’. In fact Evan stresses the importance of the knowledge economy and of ensuring that we are all able to gain the skills to enable us to move in to high-skill and higher-value industries. I shall be asking him what lessons he feels there are for our school system in ensuring this continues to happen.
You may wish to read a previous, Open University interview with Evan which include some of his thoughts about education and enterprise.
Please post your question ideas, or tweet them to me @informed_edu.
As a DT teacher I am infuriated that Michael Gove is doing his best to sideline subjects like mine by allowing more and more schools to opt out of the NC.
How can we have one govt dept (BIS) pleading for more innovators and designers whilst the DfE are killing subjects like DT ?
