HEADS CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY TO DELIVER SPECIALISED DIPLOMAS
 
The first pupils will embark on Specialised Diplomas in September 2008. The Diplomas will offer an alternative to traditional teaching styles to young people. But research by Young Enterprise, the UK’s largest business and enterprise education charity, has found widespread concern among head teachers because of a lack of preparation and resource shortages. 

LOCAL GOVERNMENT MOVES INTO KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
 
Local government managers and council members are sharing their practical experiences with each other in an on-line blog style environment set up by the Improvement and Development Agency. The Community of Practice online workspaces allow managers and councillors to discuss issues with their peers in a confidential environment. 

This programme is now available to view on egovtv.tv, the online television channel for public service modernisation.
