Disengagement - Report This report has attempted to tell a continuous story about those who have disengaged from the education process, from their time at school, through further education and into their working lives, by addressing the following research questions. What are the characteristics of the disengaged young people in secondary education? Who among them participates in further learning and why? What impact does such participation have on their labour market outcomes? The key findings to emerge from this study, which has used large national data sets, supplement the evidence acquired through largely qualitative and small-scale studies on the nature and possible consequences of disengagement from secondary education. Ref No 052229 7.

Conference 2006 aims, content and rational This Conference intends to contribute to the creative debate between educationalists, academics, university students, artists and policy makers over the possibilities and applications of theatre and the performing arts in schools and in within other educational contexts. We live in a world which changes rapidly, and is defined by information and by the power of the media; the new generations grow up in a damaged environment, characterized by Globalization, where the social differences are becoming bigger and bigger and the peaceful coexistence of peoples is often disrupted by wars, fanaticism and racism. What is the role of the arts -performing arts especially- within education? What is –or can be- their role in the lives of the youth, who have to grow up and live in such a world? The 2006 Athens Conference aim is to search for potential meeting points for Theatre/Performing Arts, Education (formal or informal) and Society. Some of the questions to be posed and examined during the Conference include: In what ways are the arts and education influenced by the current intense, sometimes even violent, social changes? Are there any new forms of art that can be created, in order to follow today’s needs? How do young people perceive themselves and the “other” within today’s world? How can we provoke an opening of the school to society? How could we create a new cultural education and an updated code of ethics within schools? What is the role of educationalists as artists, and that of artists as educationalists, in teaching through the arts? The 2006 Athens Conference will address these important issues through a variety of channels and outlets: · Theatre teaching (as an art form) · Theatre/Drama as an educational means and teaching tool (D.I.E.) · Theatre/Drama as Social Intervention · Community Theatre · Theatre for Development · Theatre-in-Education (T.I.E.) · Playing-Through-Theatre methods · Dramatherapy – Psychodrama · Puppetry and Shadow Theatre · Music Education · Dance and Movement · Audiovisual Education (Photography, Video, Cinema, Media, etc) · Other fields of research or practice in theatre/drama and performance arts in education For whom : This conference is open to educationalists of all levels and all fields, to university students and graduates of pedagogical and theatre departments, and to artists who work in educational contexts (formal or informal).

Theatre in Education is 40 in 2005! In 1965, in the UK, at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, THEATRE IN EDUCATION (TIE) was conceived & born. In the year of its 40th anniversary…. Learn from the Past ~ where have we been?

The TTA becomes the Training and Development Agency for Schools Ralph Tabberer, who becomes chief executive of the TDA, said: “The Government has declared that ‘Every child matters’. The creation of the TDA signals that every member of the school workforce matters too. “Schools are changing, with the number of support staff - such as teaching assistants, library managers and break supervisors - almost doubling over the past eight years. Now we need to make sure those changes result in improvements for children. “Some schools are outstanding in recognising that support staff as well as teachers contribute to the performance of schools and pupils. They ensure they have training plans tailored to developing the skills and abilities of each individual. Others need encouragement to join this revolution. “The TDA will work with existing and new partner organisations to help all schools improve the training and development opportunities their staff need to benefit pupils directly. We look forward to the challenge.” The TDA, chaired by Sir Brian Follett, will work with the General Teaching Council for England, the National College for School Leadership, local authorities, trades unions and other organisations representing all staff working with children and young people, to take forward the Government’s strategy for school improvement. It aims to build on the success of the TTA over the past five years in increasing the number of trainee teachers - at 41,300 the number of entrants to teacher training in 2004-05 was the highest for 30 years – and improving the quality of their training.
