lecturers online, Facebook
is by far the most popular
channel (85 per cent). Just
over a third (36 per cent)
said they used Twitter, and
nearly a quarter (23 per
cent) used the messaging

DISCUSSION ISSUES
Adolescence – a time for making mistakes. How can we
protect the social and emotional wellbeing of students?
Where do we teach this now computer coding has taken over
the ICT curriculum?
How helpful is the school’s policy and practice on safe use of
social media?
DIGITAL SKILLS
“There is widespread support
for the expansion of
apprenticeship programmes,
but the UK’s interests and
ambitions need increased
scale. There are not enough
apprenticeships in digital
subjects or apprenticeship
schemes with digital featuring
as an important element of
content. Apprenticeships need
to be seen as a viable
alternative to higher education
and the more traditional
education routes.”
