🌍 This week in Brussels, IEA’s Paulina Korsnakova joined the European Education & Skills Summit, where key discussions focused on the vital role of education as the foundation of Europe’s future.

Musing on how a peacekeeping encounter with the Baluba people in the DRC in the 1960s has left us with a quintessentially Irish phrase for losing control that makes no sense to anyone who does not speak our strange hiberno-English. And yes, we did 'go baloobas'

American teachers union boss Randi Weingarten's new book rings warning bell about opponents to public education Jim DeFede talks with Randi Weingarten about the warning bell she rings in her new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers."

As the person who was privileged to supervise Conor's study I couldn't agree more. It is an excellent piece of scholarship - original, insightful & based on a commitment to the importance of the subject and the profession. Definitely worth a read. #educationalresearch
