Listen Back! Can university degrees be industry-focused without becoming job factories?: The Late Late Show with Seema Aggarwal
teacherstalkradio.podbean.co...

What do we risk losing when degrees become too industry-focused? And what happens if we don’t prepare students for work at all? Join Seema as she tackles these big questions with Dr. Paul Caplan, leader of MA Advertising at UAL.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of ‘poisoning our kids’ on race issues

NEW: Teachers will use “deepfake” technology to create an AI avatar of themselves to deliver catch-up lessons for pupils who have missed school. Staff at the Great Schools Trust will create the avatars – which look and sound just like them – using an AI video generator. (Schoolsweek)
