- Ever wanted to have your say on the most pressing issues in English education?
- Ever wanted a forum to express your ideas on the future of education and schools in England?
- Ever wanted to contribute to up-to-the-minute debate on topical issues surrounding the teaching profession?
If you are a teacher in England and the answer to any of the above questions is yes, then we would very much like you to read on…
The NFER wishes to develop an omnibus survey of primary and secondary teachers in the UK. The omnibus survey would provide us with a way to gather the views and opinions of teachers about topical issues by running a survey every half term with a regular panel of volunteer teachers. It is hoped that in doing this we can provide a regular platform for teachers to have their say on a wide spectrum of topics concerning education, by a means that suits them and is tailored to fit in with their busy schedules.
To see how we can best meet the needs of a teacher panel, we are proposing to run a small pilot of the omnibus survey in June 2007. We need to find out if there is interest in such a survey from the teachers in the UK. If you feel you would like to make regular contributions to such a survey then we would very much like to hear from you.
To take part all we will need is your name, gender, position in school, DfES number or postcode of your school and a reliable email address.
If you send these details to omb@nfer.ac.uk we will be delighted to add you to our panel of teachers for the omnibus pilot survey this June. If you have any further questions, then please feel free to contact Mark Bailey directly on 01753 637335.
