Service Children and their Educational Progression

Online 10.00 to 13.15

At this event that was delivered in partnership with the Service Children Progression (SCiP) Alliance, we explored the particular challenges that can have an impact on the progression of service children to, and through higher education, and how research-based information on service children's educational progression has been used to inform higher education policy-making. After hearing from our panel of expert speakers, participants discussed the case for including service children in access and participation plans and outreach programmes, and the key elements of an intervention strategy that might effectively support the educational progression of service children.

Culturally Sensitive Curricula Scales: Book Launch

ONLINE 2.00. - 3.30

This edited collection on Culturally Sensitive Curricula Scales was published as result of a NERUPI Collaborative Project. It outlines the conceptualization, development, and use of a novel set of Culturally Sensitive Curricula Scales (CSCS) as an instrument for students to rate the cultural sensitivity of their curriculum, as well as a self-reflection tool for educators to use in order to make curriculum changes. The book provides insights from the use of the tools collectively and individually in a range of higher education institutions across the UK, to inform curriculum revision nationally and internationally.

The NERUPI Convention 2024 gave participants the opportunity to explore this issue in depth as well as providing practical tools to generate and evaluate positive change.
