As a change to our usual schedule, we will be doing el fresco meetups throughout the summer months, before resuming our usual pub meetups in the autumn.

This month’s theme has been suggested by Julie Tasker, who has worked in the education sector, and is becoming increasingly concerned about the way in which children are being taught.

Do we need to concentrate on more practical subjects for certain students? Is university necessarily the go-to option for 50% of the population?

Is it time that the National Curriculum and the entire examination system was revamped? Why are there so many S.E.N.D. schools now?

Is Artificial Intelligence actually the answer? Will traditional learning techniques eventually be superseded by technology?

Join us for a relaxed debate, and also a nice drink and snack on a summer’s day in the open air (weather permitting, we do have a backup plan just in case).

As always, we encourage all opinions and respect everyone’s views. Please refrain from any offensive terminology though.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 20th June at 1 to 3pm at Forest Recreation Ground, Gregory Boulevard, Forest Fields, Nottingham.
