Estelle Morris talks to Dylan Wiliam, deputy director of the Institute of Education, to discuss the state of education in our schools today.
Wiliam offers a radical point of view on many areas of education. In a varied career, he has taught in urban state schools, directed a large-scale testing program, served a number of roles in university administration and pursued a research programme focused assessment.
In a frank conversation with the former education secretary, Wiliam reveals his thoughts on the best ways to improve education, from policy to classroom tips. He holds strong views on the current assessment system and believes that it only suits some pupils, while alienating others who are capable of achieving good results.
