Widening Participation

Salford population census = 245,00027,000 adults experiencing worklessness in Salford

(17.5%) with an obvious concentration in certain areas.

30 out of every 100 children live in poverty (that makes about 15,000 kids).

6,000 receive free school meals (not sure what happens with the other 9,000).

3538 are persistently absent from school and there are about 160 ‘no-school’ children.

Thank God for Politicians (Educated People)

834 – (remarkably precise number, despite the vague quality of statistics and metrics).

Government spend (from Treasury) of 4K per family (40% of total cost) in staged payments assessed on results.

Total bill to the government and gain for public spending in Salford (resulting in 834 transformed families) = 3,336,000.

Bob Diamond’s 2011 bonus reduced to 50% of his 2010 bonus, therefore 3,300,000.

The Tory Party spent £16,682,874 on campaigning in the run up to the 2010 election;

Connected Learning Alliance: A world in which all young people have access to participatory, interest-driven learning that connects to educational, civic and career opportunities.

Prof Martin Hall (Emeritus Professor at University of Cape Town)

Three dimensions to Connected Learning:

C1: the realisation of the self and sense of self as a determinant in the formation and characteristics of reflexivity and reflection; the subjective other and their dependency on context, life condition, and external environment refined by their personality type. C2: the specifically different, wide ranging relationships that bind people together and provide their associations, interest communities, social capital, social agency, peer support and peer influence, and educational foundation.C3: the public good and collective value of education (and of total engagement) as a reforming driver for improving social justice, equality and economic stability.

The CLAN (Collaborative Learning in Andragogic Networks) project seeks to make use of mobile and interactive devices to prompt and validate experiential learning from a personal, social, intra-subjective, and co-operative base.

Our goal is to support every person to access opportunities to achieve and progress educationally by providing on-line and digital open mutual learning environments that will structure wisdom, clarify skills, express value, and establish clear pathways should the learner wish to source formal credits in recognition of their experience or move to qualifications based learning.
