SUMMARY:Education: undervalued and over measured
DESCRIPTION:Thu 17 Nov 2022\, 18:30 - 19:45\nDelivered by the most outstand
 ing academics in the UK and beyond\, the British Academy’s flagship lect
 ure programme showcases the very best scholarship in the humanities and so
 cial sciences.\nThe events of the last few years have undoubtedly stretche
 d our public services to breaking point and the impact on our education sy
 stem has been particularly acute. With pressures on the public finances fr
 om all sides\, shorter-term imperatives end up taking priority. Yet withou
 t the necessary long-term investment in our education and skills system\, 
 the health\, wealth and indeed happiness of the UK is at risk. Certainly\,
  we will not succeed in boosting our productivity levels nor are we likely
  to remain a research superpower. So how can we avoid undervaluing the ski
 lls and talent we need to succeed?\nSpeaker: Professor Anna Vignoles FBA\,
