Rt Hon Frank Field MP - Toughening Up Jesuit Teachings on Shaping Children's Life Chances

The language which shapes educational policy and practice is increasingly dominated by performance targets, audits, efficiency gains and (indeed)'deliverology'. In this Ebor lecture Prof Pring argues that there is a need by contrast to examine what the philosopher John Macmurry referred to as 'the form of the personal' and thereby of 'personal development' as the aim of education.

Professor Richard Pring - What Counts as an Educated Person?

The Ebor Lectures is an ecumenical project jointly organised by York Minster, York St John University, The Order of Carmelites, The Yorkshire North & East District of the Methodist Church and The C. & J. B. Morrell Trust.

The lectures are a response to the growing need for theology to interact with public issues in contemporary society.
