The 17-year-old who swapped school for A-League finals

OED gives the etymology from educare and the base Latin form would be educo but this had/has two different senses. The first is the rearing or raising of children, livestock, comparable to modern sense, and the second is to draw or lead out, to bring before a court, to raise, to bring up the rear, etc. I like what the second sense brings with the image of a civilized human being being drawn out of a great ape with a language facility. Pepe Di’Iasio, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: ‘The Education Record app represents a positive step forward in making greater use of digital technology in education and will bring benefits to students, schools and colleges.  James Bowen, assistant general secretary at school leaders’ union NAHT, said: ‘It makes a lot of sense to look into modernising how exam results are handled and any moves to cut bureaucracy and costs are welcome.

He added: ‘We believe this will reduce administrative burdens on schools, and in the future could also be utilised by parents of younger children to support transition from primary to secondary school.’ Education minister Stephen Morgan said: ‘It is high time exam records were brought into the 21st century, and this pilot will allow schools and colleges to focus on what they do best: teaching the next generation rather than being bogged down in bureaucracy.’ However, pupils will still receive a hard copy, and schools will continue to open as normal on results day to welcome pupils and give advice (pictured: a DfE prototype for the new ‘Education Record’ app) Ministers hope the app could be rolled out as early as 2026, meaning teenagers will no longer have to collect their results in person (pictured: Brighton College pupils picking up their GCSE results last year) And they say it could sit in the new ‘gov.uk wallet’ currently being designed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, which can be used for official digital documents such as drivers’ licenses.
