Careers 2020: options for future careers work in English schools.

Careers work in English schools has endured much turbulence recently. The government has now established a statutory duty on schools to secure provision, placing commissioning of careers advice and guidance in the hands of schools rather than local authorities or central government. But the duty is framed very loosely, comes with no funding and offers no clear model of provision. The previous funding for face-to-face guidance from qualified careers advisers has been removed, as has the duty for schools to provide careers education. So what should schools’ careers offers look like in future? How can schools ensure the quality of the career development support that is so vital for young people, and particularly so for those who cannot rely on their existing networks for advice and opportunities?Pearson Think Tan

Letter to Philander Chase

Marriott is telling Chase about the support for his cause in London including the Vice-Chancellor.https://digital.kenyon.edu/chase_letters/1196/thumbnail.jp

Letter to Philander Chase

G. W. Marriott tells Philander Chase that the Bishop of Salisbury wanted Chase to visit him, but the post was so late that Chase missed the time to meet completely. Marriott anticipates that Chase\u27s Cause will be well supported in Oxford, and reminds him that getting support in Canada is also important. The Dean of Westminster has agreed to support Chase. Marriott advises Chase to write to the Bishop of Salisbury as soon as he can, as the Bishop\u27s support will be influential especially in Ireland.https://digital.kenyon.edu/chase_letters/1106/thumbnail.jp

Vegetation Changes in Sown Grassland in the UK after Nine Years of Extensive Grazing Management

The effect of extensive grazing management with sheep on vegetation change in sown pastures (initially containing Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens) in the uplands of Scotland was investigated from 1990-1999. One treatment was representative of current more intensive management systems; it was fertilized, and maintained at a sward surface height of 4 cm. Two treatments were unfertilized and were maintained at sward surface heights of 4 cm or 8 cm; the ewe numbers carried on these treatments averaged 74% and 44%, respectively, of those on the fertilized treatment. In all treatments the sheep were Scottish Blackface ewes. Their single lambs also grazed from May until weaning in mid-August. Over 9 years there were only small changes in species composition in the unfertilized treatments. The changes were primarily shifts in abundance of the species present initially, with only a few additions or losses of species. L. perenne made a similar contribution to cover in both the 8 cm and fertilized swards. The highest content of T. repens was in unfertilized swards and the least was in the 4 cm fertilized swards. This study demonstrates that the contribution of the sown species to sward composition remains high in grazed upland swards that are more extensively managed for nearly ten years. Since there was little overall change in species composition, it could be difficult to achieve increased plant biodiversity in these systems simply by removing fertiliser and reducing grazing intensity
