School Of Everything
Last night at Channel 4 in Horseferry Road, London The School of Everything launched. I’d heard about school of everything from various places over the past year, and gathered the idea is to encourage informal learning about subjects that people wish to learn more about, rather than agendas to promote qualifications and assessment. So people with a need to learn can be put in touch with people who have some knowledge or skills to share, so it’s a matching service.
Upon arrival at the school of everything homepage, you are greeted with the simple slogan in large bold type “Learn more”
and then you get the chance to either sign up as a person, or as a teacher.
Within the UK, this might provide a vibrant alternative for all sorts of learning which are no longer covered by the run down local authorities’ adult education sectors. The school of everything also has ambitions to become a well populated international website on the global startups scene.

Brilliant, and simple, like so many very clever ideas. They’re just connecting supply and demand, but in a classy and useful way.
BTW, I’m new to your blog and my eye was caught by your friend feed … someone favorited a couple of You Tube videos of Roy Harper, one of the great wonders of British music. Just wanted to add my own recommendation for his heartbreaking “Another Day”, also available via You Tube.
interesting teacher/learner ratios on some areas. I joined one as a learner with 26 teachers and 21 learners.
