This is one for the teachers or educational professionals amongst you.

My girlfriend has to write something for uni and she needs to find a list of the changes made to the education system by different governments from the 1980’s to the present. She needs a breakdown of the major changes made by various Education Secretaries or any way they tried to implement their own agenda. I imagine a chronological list of the developments exists somewhere but we can’t find it.

Anyway, after a couple of days of googling and hunting around the library I said, “I know, I’ll ask on Singletrack”. She did a little snigger as if I was joking. She knows nothing of the awesome collective brainpower lurking around this URL.

Would anyone care to show her STW means business?

“UK education policy timeline” ?

we just have to decide on her forfeit now

That’s excellent! It’s exactly what I had in my imagination.

She better have a bloody good excuse for not finding that website.

Don’t involve me in this ‘pair’, she was looking I was riding.

Googles algorithm probably blew up when you added policy to the end of the search. Maybe try snafu, fubar or “what did give remember about his days at eton this morning” instead!

The mind boggles

Check her browsing history.

She *says* she was looking for UK education policy timeline stuff….
