What do we think about the current state of Education in our schools ?

In the light of some expert criticism of our current system, is testing and accountability in our schools suppressing the humanity of our young people ? What is the nature of a good education system and what is it for and what does it mean to put the individual human being at its centre ? These are two of the issues to be discussed at this meeting, based on Nigel's experience as chair of the Liberal Democrat Education Association, as well as his 40yrs as a teacher.

Ranges of Faith, as observed in Egypt

Salwa will tell us her observations from a recent trip to Egypt, where she was born and brought up in the Coptic Church. She will talk around simple faith still being most prevalent and sustained, alongside a highly philosophised faith and theology. One question to be raised will be how there can be rationalised belief in the supernatural and miracles.
