It has been announced that thirteen new "studio schools" are to be set up in England from September next year. Schools of this kind mix academic studies with work-based training and thus enable their students to gain not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience. Moreover, national and local employers are involved in this project, so the students should have better opportunity to find job in the future.
As a future teacher I like the idea of mixing theoretical and practical education. Especially nowadays when it seems that academic titles are more popular than practical skills, this kind of school appears to be very effective. I wonder how long it will take the Czech education system to adopt this idea as well. I know we have various vocational schools, but these are being less and less prestigious. Maybe at least a new name "studio schools" would help them.
