In July 2023 the National Education Museum in partnership with the New Visions for Education Group sponsored the inaugural lecture in honour of the late Fred Jarvis CBE, former General Secretary of the National Union of Teachers, joint founder of the New Visions Group, Honorary Patron of the National Education Museum and lifetime education campaigner. The lecture was given by journalist and writer Melissa Benn, herself a leading campaigner for education.
The 2nd of these lectures, major events in the education calendar, is to be given in Portsmouth on 1st June 2024 by former Secretary of State, Baroness Estelle Morris - Learning lessons, what should decades of school reform teach us? As in 2023 the lecture will be video recorded for general release after the event.
