(From Independent Education Today) As 2019 comes to a close, five experts from independent education offer their reflections on a significant year and analyse the events that hit the headlines. Here are a few highlights:
- Independent schools are frequently exploring public-private partnerships. This has been big development allowing independent schools greater freedom in delivering exciting and academically challenging courses, at a time when schools must evaluate the risk-reward proposition of such partnerships.
- The roles of independent school leaders have evolved with the increasingly complex and demanding challenges posed by political and financial shifts in the landscape. From managing cybersecurity to considering a merger or acquisition strategy, business officers are increasingly finding creative ways navigate complex issues in their schools.
- A push to end private schools in the U.K. has raised concerns and rallied support for the independent school sector. The plan, if implemented, would involve the absorption of 2,500 independent schools into the state sector.
- As demand for on-campus counseling services surges, schools are reimagining their approaches to mental health and wellness. Investments in services and training for teachers can help schools support their students and manage these issues.
