We invite you to the next #LunchtimeSession, entitled ‘Primary Education in Challenging Times: What Research Can Do’.
In this online webinar, our hosts, Professor Alice Bradbury and Professor Gemma Moss, will consider the crucial role primary schools play in their communities at times of profound social crisis. Drawing on a sequence of research projects exploring the impacts of COVID-19 and the cost-of-living crisis on primary schools, the webinar will explore why the system as it stands ignores the social value of education, yet teachers feel morally compelled to act.
In this context, the speakers will consider role research can play in determining tactics and targets that might help things change, and reset the agenda in education.
We hope you can join us.
Please note, this event is free to both BELMAS members and non-members.
Registration will close at midnight (UK) on Tuesday 15th July 2025.
Professor Alice Bradbury UCL Institute of Education
