In this episode I had the privilege of speaking with Kathy Wallace, Head of IB Language and Literature at UWC, Singapore. We explore an interesting and wide range of topics, including Kathy’s research on ‘Out Of The Local And Into The Global: Parental Perspectives Of International Education In Singapore’, parentocracy and elitism in international education, the potential impact of de-regulated international school markets on local education systems, and student identity and the importance of students learning about the local context in which they are being educated in. Thanks for listening and enjoy the podcast.
