Education in Action
Education in ACTION is an organisation that has been staging inspirational, education enrichment live events for A level, IB, BTEC and GCSE students for over thirty years. Each day includes four or five renowned speakers from universities, industry or the media. It is a chance for students to see, hear and learn from experts who they would not normally have access to in the classroom. The intention is to inspire students to do well in their chosen subject, to see where it might take them and to encourage students to continue their studies to a higher level. Many days are held in university buildings - so it can also be a university experience - and there is as much audience participation as is possible within a theatre-style setting. In addition, there's a session on exam success on most days plus a hints and tips guide for each student to take away, to enable students to achieve the best possible results. With days now in London and at Warwick and Salford Universities, there is more choice and less travel for many of our regular attendees. Our subject range is comprehensive: KS4: Maths, Science and English KS5: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, English Literature, Geography, History, Maths, Physics, Product Design, Psychology and Sociology
