What is education - Guest lecture 2

Our second guest lecturer was Dr Russell Grigg, he spoke to us about Estyn. He explained what it was and what is does, he also explained why it is important and why it is needed. Estyn inspects the standards in education today and gives advice to the Welsh assembly government regarding this. Each inspection looks at various areas in an educational setting, some of these include teacher training, work based learning and pupil referral units.
Once an inspection has been carried out a report is then written about the inspection and the setting is graded, there are 4 categories. These are excellent, good, adequate and unsatisfactory.
