Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
- A two day course focusing on the ways in which we can reduce inequality within education in the UK
- I was able to take part in debates, come up with solutions to educational problems, and teach a mini lesson. These activities took place across the two days.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There were lots of qualified teachers on hand to talk to about future careers, so it was great to have that insight.
