baseLearning Conference – March 2010

The conference brought business together with education; baseLearning focused on education and skills in a low-carbon economy. Its focus was on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and the career options that these open for young people, via vocational, technical and academic routes to employment.

Its content connected classroom attainment with careers in today’s sustainable business environment. It aimed to facilitate constructive debate between education and industry that will lead to productive relationships that engage, inspire and prepare young people for working life.

Sir Mike Tomlinson, co-chair, 21st Century Learning Alliance and former government schools advisor opened the conference with “21st Century skills – are these core learning needs or are schools being asked to take on employers’ training?”
