Getting started
To get started with Copenhagen, add copenhagen.0-1-4.min.css
and copenhagen.0-1-4.min.js
to your web project.
You can find them on GitHub.
Then import them to your webpage by adding the following lines in the
<head>
tag of your webpage:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./compiled/copenhagen.0-1-4.min.css">
<script src="./compiled/copenhagen.0-1-4.min.js"></script>
You can then instantiate a new Editor adding the following JavaScript
within a <script>
tag:
// Use DOMContentLoaded or whatever instantiation code you'd like,
// just make sure the page is ready...
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
// instantiated CPHEditor instance with config
var editor = new Copenhagen.Editor({language: 'javascript'});
// open, but do not auto-focus the editor
editor.open(this.selector('.some-selector'), false);
// set a value
editor.setValue('var message = `hello world`;');
});
Alternatively, you can automatically convert all elements matching a
specific selector. This will automatically pass in config values
via data-*
attributes on the HTML tag.
<div class="editor" data-language="html" data-maxrows="20">
// some code
</div>
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var editors = Copenhagen.initSelectorAll('.editor');
});
Constructor
Creates a Copenhagen editor instance with a supplied config when using
new Copenhagen.editor(cfg)
.

,
"html"
, "css"
and "text"
.
booleanreadonly
Sets readonly status on the editor. Defaults to false
.
booleanhidden
Hides the editor. Defaults to false
.
booleandisabled
Disables the editor. Defaults to false
.
booleanmaximized
Sets whether or not the editor takes up the entirety of the relative parent or not.

.
Methods
Create a custom autocompletion detector to add your own autocomplete box.
The enableFn
takes the form function (editor, selection, inString, inComment)
and can return any sort of result
you want. When rendered, if enableFn()
returns a truthy value, the editor will dispatch an autocomplete
event
with the parameters (editor, name, result, cursorRectangle)
. You can
use this to build your own autcompletion element.
stringname The name of the autocompletion handler
functionenableFn The autocompletion enablement handler
Adds a hotkey handler with the format function (value, cursors) { ... }
If a hotkey is added, the default behavior will be prevented.
stringkey Hotkey format in order ctrl+alt+shift+key
functionfn Hotkey handler
Shakes the editor back-and-forth, indicating no action can be taken.
Blurs the editor (removes focus)
Tells us whether or not the editor can currently return typeahead or
other suggestions.
Clears all user action history. This *does not* re-render the editor.
Clears metadata on the editor, if needed. This will dispatch a metadata
event
and metadata
/${key}` event that can be listener to via editor.on('metadata', fn)
.
stringkey The metadata key to clear
Disables the editor. The user can not make further changes or scroll the
editor.
Emulate a user action. Use this when emulation mode is enabled.
Will throw an error if not in emulation mode.
Specific user actions are available on the CPHCursor
object, prefixed with the word calculate
.
stringname The name of the user action to dispatch
Open the find and replace dialog for the editor.
stringvalue The value to search for
Finds the complement of a character at a specific index based on the
language dictionary.
e.g. finds }
when {
is located at the specified index.
stringvalue The value to search through
integern The character index to check
arrayResult in format [leftIndex, rightIndex]
Sets focus to the editor
booleanselectAll Whether or not to select entire contents of the editor
Retrieves the active formatter function based on the active language
Retrieve the currently active language for the editor
Retrieves the currently active language dictionary for the editor.
Languages are added via CPHEditor#languages
.
Retrieves the formatter function for a language or return the text
formatter if it is not found.
stringlanguage The language of the formatter
Retrieves metadata from the editor, if needed
stringkey The metadata key to retrieve
stringdefaultValue The default value to return if not set
Retrieves the current value of the editor
string
Navigate the user action history, forward or backward.
integeramount
Determine whether the editor is focused, returns true if so
boolean
Hide the editor (set display = none)
Determines whether a specific character index is within a block or not
based on the language dictionary.
integern The character index to check
boolean
Determines whether a specific character index is within a comment or not
based on the language dictionary.
integern The character index to check
boolean
Determines whether a specific character index is within a string or not
based on the language dictionary.

boolean
Retrieve the current read-only status of the editor.
Opens the editor instance. Typically used after an editor is created manually
via editor = new Copenhagen.Editor()
.
HTMLElementel The element to open the editor on
booleanfocus Whether or not to focus the editor. Defaults to true
.
booleanreplaceText Whether or not to use the existing text inside of the HTMLElement to populate the editor. Defaults to false
.
Removes an autocompletion detector
stringname
Removes a hotkey handler
stringkey Hotkey format in order ctrl+alt+shift+key
Renders the editor on the next available frame, if applicable.
Multiple calls to .render
will not negatively impact performance, extra
calls are debounced.
stringvalue The value to render within the editor, should typically be editor.value
or editor.getValue()
booleanforceRender Force an update on the next frame
Dispatches a "save" event and creates a history entry if the user has performed an action.
You can listen to this action via editor.on('save', function (editor, value) { ... })
stringvalue The value to set in the editor
string
Scrolls the editor by a visible "page" amount based on the height of the
editor. This *will* trigger a re-render.
stringdirection Either "up" or "down"
Scrolls to the currently selected text in the editor. This *will* trigger
a re-render.
Scrolls to a specific line index in the editor. This *will* trigger a
re-render.

Scenario Outline: an agent can access all posted offers and demands by traversing its social network ?[90m# AgentBehavior.feature:52?[0m
In a distributed system where there is no global observer which has the registry of all agents and their items of offer and demand. In this case, the only way for an agent to access items of other agents is to traverse its social network (to a given depth) and ask all friends of friends to send information about their items. Since the OfferNet is fully connected (and hopefully is a small world network) the whole network can be scanned this way, depending on availability of time and resource constrains of an agent which initiates the search. The expected number of items that an agent has to find in its social network is calculated as follows: $(numberOfAgents -1) * pairsPerAgent * 2$ (as every pair holds two items: one demand and one offer..).

Ford Focus ST And Ranger Raptor Become Police Pursuit Cars
The two fast Fords will be tested by a number of police forces across the U.K.
by James FossdykePublished by: Adrian Padeanu
Police forces nationwide in the United Kingdom are set to trial two new high-performance Fords – the Ranger Raptor and Focus ST – with a view to them joining the police fleet.
The Ford Performance vehicles will be tried out by a number of police forces across the U.K., with South Wales Police among the first to try out the cars. The vehicles, which have been prepared by Ford’s Special Vehicle Preparation team, in Essex, feature full police livery with all-round emergency lights and sirens.
Ford says the Ranger Raptor, which is designed for extreme high-speed off-roading, “may prove to be the perfect tool to access some of the U.K.’s most rural locations”. The Raptor is expected to find employment as an off-road pursuit vehicle, and Ford says it has “more than enough to keep up with criminals making a getaway across gravel, mud, and sand”.
See Other Cool Police Cars:
On paper, the Ranger Raptor’s performance figures aren’t all that impressive. The 2-liter diesel engine provides a top speed of 105 mph (169 km/h), which makes the car slower than a mid-range VW Polo in a straight line, but it offers unparalleled off-road capability. That’s provided by Fox shock absorbers and a Baja desert race mode, as well as stronger bodywork to withstand flying rocks. Add in chunky off-road tires, underbody protection and clever traction control, and the Raptor is capable of the sort of feats usually only seen in the Dakar Rally.
At the same time, police forces will also evaluate the Focus ST wagon for use as an on-road pursuit vehicle. That car, which comes with a 2.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a top speed of 155 mph,(250 km/h) is far more suited to on-street car chases with criminals trying to evade justice.

It’s aided in that mission by much the same engine you’ll find in the 2.3-liter Mustang or the old Ford Focus RS. Unlike those models, though, it’s tuned to produce 276 horsepower, as opposed to the 286 seen in the current Euro-spec Mustang and 345 hp found under the hood of the old Focus RS. That’s still enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of less than six seconds, though.
If the two newcomers are selected to enter full-time police service, they will join a long line of Ford police vehicles, which includes the Escort, Capri and Focus, as well as the Transit van. The company also has police vehicles in its homeland, with the Crown Victoria, F-150 Responder and Interceptor SUV all serving US police departments.

FAST AND FURIOUS FORD COP CARS BREAK COVER
DUNTON, Essex, Nov. 28, 2019 – Police forces across the UK are set to trial Ford’s latest blue-light vehicle – a 105mph all-wheel drive Ford Ranger Raptor. With its FOX shock absorbers and Baja desert race mode as standard, it has more than enough to keep up with crims making a getaway across gravel, mud and sand.
South Wales Police are among the first to trial the Ranger Raptor pick-up – capable of travelling off road almost as quickly as on it – which may prove to be the perfect tool to access some of the UK’s most rural locations.
And there’s no point trying to outsmart the police on-road, either, as evaluations of a 155mph Ford Focus ST estate are underway, too.
Both are the product of Ford’s Special Vehicle Preparation team, in Essex, which has added full Police livery with all-round emergency lights and sirens.

The jasmines package is what I use to make a lot of my generative artwork with R. Internally it relies heavily on the ambient package, and you may need to install the developer version of ambient to make it work:
# install.packages("remotes")
# remotes::install_github("thomasp85/ambient")
remotes::install_github("djnavarro/jasmines")
Functions in the jasmines package are designed to work with the dplyr pipe, so you will likely want to have dplyr loaded:
A typical jasmines pipeline looks like this:
use_seed(1) %>%
entity_circle(grain = 1000) %>%
unfold_tempest(iterations = 10) %>%
style_ribbon(background = "wheat")
The use_seed()
function is a convenience function that sets the random number generator seed, and stores that value for later use. The seed is then piped to an entity_
function (or a scene_
function) that creates the initial object that will be operated upon. In this case this initial object is a circle of diameter 2 rendered using 1000 points. This is then passed to an unfold_
function, that iteratively applies some operation (in this case the “warp”) operation for some number of steps (in this case 100). The object is converted to a ggplot2 image using one of the style_
functions. In this and most cases the style_ribbon()
is used and has several customisable finctions.
use_seed(1) %>%
entity_circle(grain = 1000, size = 2) %>%
unfold_warp(iterations = 100) %>%
style_ribbon(palette = "rainbow")
An example where the initial object is created with entity_heart()
, the unfolding performed by unfold_slice()
and the styling is more elaborate.
use_seed(1) %>%
entity_heart(grain = 1000) %>%
unfold_slice(iterations = 10) %>%
style_ribbon(
palette = "base",
colour = "ind",
background = "mistyrose"
) %>%
style_overlay(border = "white")
It is possible to create “scenes” comprised of multiple entities as the initial starting point, apply multiple unfolding operations, and modify the way transparency and colouring is done.
use_seed(1) %>%
scene_discs(
rings = 3, points = 5000, size = 5
) %>%
mutate(ind = 1:n()) %>%
unfold_warp(
iterations = 1,
scale = .5,
output = "layer"
) %>%
unfold_tempest(
iterations = 20,
scale = .01
) %>%
style_ribbon(
palette = palette_named("vik"),
colour = "ind",
alpha = c(.1,.1),
background = "oldlace"
)

Toro Rosso-Honda "complete shutdown" caused Kvyat's practice off
by Scott Mitchell, Oleg KarpovDaniil Kvyat's off at the end of Friday practice at the Brazilian Grand Prix was caused by a 'complete shutdown' of his Honda-powered Toro Rosso Formula 1 car.
Kvyat and his team-mate Pierre Gasly both suffered failures in FP2, with Gasly grinding to a smoky halt and Kvyat sliding off and nudging the barrier at the penultimate corner with an obvious car issue.
While Toro Rosso and Honda have not yet identified the origin of the problem they have confirmed Kvyat crashed due to a "complete shutdown".
Honda and Toro Rosso are now investigating the cause of the problem and Gasly's engine failure, neither of which will impact the drivers' respective weekends because they were using older engines which were due to be switched to fresher units anyway.
"Something broke in the car, I don't know exactly what," said Kvyat. "The car was out of control and stopped, that's it.
"I don't think it's going to be a big problem.
"Something locked on the rear and I lost control of the car because of that.
"Everything switched off immediately."
Toro Rosso chief race engineer Jonathan Eddolls said the team's mechanics had been left with "quite some work" on Friday evening, and that the problems curtailed "pretty reasonable" long runs for both drivers.
"Unfortunately, we've had an issue on the PU side for Pierre, which cut his long run short," said Eddolls.
"Then towards the end of the session, there was some problem with Dany's car where it completely shut down, and it looks like that's what caused his spin.
"We lost all data and connection, so we have to investigate the cause for it.
"There's quite a bit for us to work on ahead of tomorrow."

Authors
Authors should familirise themselves with submission requirements, review process and publication guidance.
-
Submission. The submission requirements include guidance on the format of paper, workshop and poster submissions.
-
Review. The review guidance outlines the process, declaring conflicts of interest and information regarding the proxy chair and panel.
-
Publication. The publication guidance outlines the responsibilities of accepted authors as well as guidance on how to access previous proceedings.
Research paper, workshop proposals, posters, RIPPA and Doctoral Consortium submissions must be made through EasyChair.
There is an option on the submission form to indicate whether the submission is a research paper, workshop proposal or poster abstract. There is seperate format guidnace for each submission type.
All submission must confirm to the relevant ACM proceeding template.
Submissions must conform to the
ACM proceeding template (double-column format). The
page limit is six pages, excluding references. The references may occupy
a seventh page if the paper reaches the six-page limit.
Authors must make an electronic submission in the form of a PDF file via EasyChair. Authors will need to create an EasyChair account, if they do not have one, and
complete a submission form. The submission form requires authors to detail the submission type, title, abstract as well as contact information.
Submissions from authors must be anonymised to support the review process. The initial submission for review must be anonymised, authors must remove all references to them, including affiliations and any identifying information
within the body of the submission.
Note that reviewers will assume they are reviewing completed works, as they will eventually appear in the conference proceedings.
Do not submit incomplete drafts.
Workshop proposals should be submitted in ACM double-column conference proceedings format. The page limit is two pages, including references. Workshop proposal must
be submitted in an anonymised form for review. Workshop proposals should include: details of the workshop’s content, practical requirements (e.g. group discussion tables, computer room, etc) whether or not this workshop has been
run before, and intended take-away knowledge for participants. Authors must make an electronic submission in the form of a PDF file via EasyChair.
The authors of accepted workshop proposals will be invited to deliver the workshop at the conference. Organisers that have any questions or need additional information, can contact the Workshops Chair on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Workshop proposals are not included in the conference proceedings but are made available on the conference website.
Poster abstracts should be submitted in ACM double-column conference proceedings format. The page limit is one page, including references. Poster abstracts must be
submitted in an anonymised form for review. Authors must make an electronic submission in the form of a PDF file via EasyChair.
Posters should describe the early or proposed work and contribution of it.
Research Posters 101 provides a good starting point for considering the content and overall design of a strong research poster.
The authors of accepted poster abstracts will be invited to present a poster at the conference. Proposers that have any questions or need additional information, can contact the Posters Chair on<EMAIL_ADDRESS>RIPPA proposals should be submitted in ACM double-column conference proceedings format.
The page limit is two pages, including references. RIPPA proposals must be submitted in an anonymised form for review.
RIPPA proposals should include typical submission details such as the abstract, keywords and introduction, as well as:
details of the RIPPA's goals and outcomes, methodology or practical tasks involved, a schedule or timeline,
and intended take-away knowledge and skills for the RIPPA participants.
Authors must make an electronic submission in the form of a PDF file via EasyChair.
Doctoral Consortium candidates must prepare and submit a two-page application via EasyChair. The application must comprise of one-page abstract submitted in
ACM double-column conference proceedings format and a one-page appendix that contains applicant information.
The one-page abstract, that is published in the conference proceedings, must contain:
- Brief abstract (approximately 50 words) that provides sufficient insight into your work.
- Two or three references to influential background or related work.
- Early or established research goals or questions.
- Current or expected contributions of the work.
- Current or expected methodology to delivery contributions.
The one-page appendix, this is not published, must contain:
- Research description of your current work, including:
- motivation,
- research progress, and
- engagement with prior research activities and events.
Statement of nomination from your doctoral supervisor or supervisor team, detailing:
- year of study,
- expected timeline of completion,
- confirmation that student is able to attend in-person at conference,
- area of computing education research focus or interest, and
- expectations for the doctoral consortium.
The review process is broadly similair for all contributions to the United Kingdom and Ireland Computing Education Research (UKICER) conference that are published in the conference proceedings.
Process for Papers and Posters
The review process for papers and posters is double-blind with authors required to submit anonymised artefacts. Each submission is reviewed by at least three members of the programme committee. Upon completion of reviews, reviewers enter the discussion
stage and are expected to discuss their reviews anonymously, especially when notable differences exist. The programme chair utilises discussions and reviews to determine an appropriate balance of accepted papers.
-
Conflict of Interest. Reviewers are required to declare any conflicts of interest in advance of reviewing papers.
-
Proxy chair and expert panel. Submissions that represent a conflict of interest for any of the chairs are passed to the proxy chair and panel for initial consideration.
-
Accepted submissions. Authors must prepare accepted submissions for publication and at least one author is required to register and attend the conference.
Authors must ensure their submissions abide by the ACM Conflict of Interest Policy (COI). Reviewers are required by chairs to identify any conflicts of
interest prior to being allocated any submissions to review. Authors are expected to inform any conflicts of interest prior or at the point of submission of any artefacts for review.
Submissions that represent a conflict of interest for all conference chairs are passed to the proxy chair. The proxy chair assembles an expert panel of two or more members, the members are not required to be part of the programme committee. The members
of the expert panel are not known to the chairs. The proxy chair and expert panel consider the conflicted papers, reviews and any discussion amongst reviewers. The expert panel makes the final decision on the conflicted papers
and this is communicated to the conference chairs.
Process for Workshop
The workshop submitted by proposers are considered by the Workshop chair. The submissions put forward by proposers are considered confidential.
Process for Doctoral Consortium
The two-page Doctoral Consortium application submitted by each candidate is considered by the DC organisers. The submissions put forward by candidates are considered confidential.
The official publication date of the conference proceedings is when they become available via the digital repository. The specific date may be up to 14 days prior to the initial day of the conference. Contributors should be aware of this publication date when considering other artefacts associated with published work, e.g. patent filings.
Previous proceedings. The proceedings for the previous conferences are accessible on the ACM Digital Library.
Author registration. At least one author of accepted submissions is required to register and present the submission at the conference.
The proceedings from the conference last year are available on the ACM Digital Library
Any questions about submissions should be emailed to the Programme Chairs, Keith Quille<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and Seán Russell (sean.russell@ucd.ie).

- 2. I also am aware of and assume all risks associated with participating in the Event, including, but not limited to, falls, contact with other participants, effect of weather, traffic, and conditions of the road.
- 3. Barring its legal liability, One World Strong Foundation Inc. (the “Event Organizer”) shall not be responsible or financially liable for any accidents and/or illness suffered by the participant, for loss of property, any damages to equipment or cars parked on site, for any other damages allegedly suffered by the participant or caused by the general public.
- 4. Should a participant’s actions out on the course cause an incident resulting in damage to other road users property, the participant will take responsibility and will assume financial liability.
- 5. I understand that this liability waiver includes any claims, whether caused by negligence or the action or inaction of the Event Organizer, other participants, supporters, the general public or myself.
- 6. Each participant must follow instructions as given from all event officials, including instructions at race briefings, from any of the race staff, volunteers, medical personnel, security officers and other officials throughout the duration of the Event.

A file monitor and server restarter.
Use this like:
..code-block:: Python
import reloader reloader.install()
Then make sure your server is installed with a shell script like:
err=3
while test "$err" -eq 3 ; do
python server.py
err="$?"
done
or is run from this .bat file (if you use Windows):
@echo off
:repeat
python server.py
if %errorlevel% == 3 goto repeat
or run a monitoring process in Python (paster serve --reload does this).
Use the watch_file(filename) function to cause a reload/restart for other other non-Python files (e.g., configuration files). If you have a dynamic set of files that grows over time you can use something like:
def watch_config_files():
return CONFIG_FILE_CACHE.keys()
paste.reloader.add_file_callback(watch_config_files)
Then every time the reloader polls files it will call watch_config_files and check all the filenames it returns.
Install the reloading monitor.
On some platforms server threads may not terminate when the main thread does, causing ports to remain open/locked. The raise_keyboard_interrupt option creates a unignorable signal which causes the whole application to shut-down (rudely).


Speech
The Education Secretary addresses the NASUWT teachers’ union conference to discuss her white paper reforms and working together.
Thank you, Kathy [Wallis, NASUWT National President] for that introduction.
And thank you for inviting me here today. I know there are those who have expressed surprise - astonishment even - that I would ‘brave’ coming to this conference.
Well, let me be absolutely clear I will engage with any audience, with anyone who wants to participate in the conversation on how we make England’s education system the best system it possibly can be. That’s why I regularly hold Teacher Direct sessions across the country so that teachers can ask me questions and I can hear their views.
That’s my job as Education Secretary. It’s about listening to teachers, parents, anyone who has a role in our educations system and - based on those judgements - making decisions about what is best for young people. Unsurprisingly that’s what I want to talk about today.
I know there are things on which we disagree. And I will address some of them today but first I’d like to talk about those areas on which I think we do agree and about the significant progress we are making together.
I hope we agree that the education system can and should be a motor to drive social justice, helping to build a fairer society, where people are rewarded on the basis of their talents and the efforts they put in.
I hope we also agree that it can and should extend opportunity and serve to improve the life chances of every single young person in this country - no matter where they are, what their background is, or who their parents are.
I know we agree that we should strengthen the teaching profession by supporting it to become vibrantly diverse.
And we agree that the system should do all that while still valuing the amazing workforce we are so fortunate to have in this country.
None of us can - or should want to - deny that the education system is in much better shape than it was 5 years ago.
The evidence speaks for itself - compared with 2012 we now have 120,000 more 6-year-olds on track to become confident readers; we have 29,000 more 11-year-olds entering secondary school able to read, write and add up properly; and compared with 2010 we have 1.4 million more children in ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ schools.
And without you and your phenomenal efforts on behalf of the young people you care so passionately about, none of that would have been possible so let me say - thank you.
We all know that the decisions made in government can make it easier or harder for you to do your job. And I’m not afraid to hold my hands up and say that sometimes we get it wrong. One area that governments of all stripes haven’t done enough to tackle is teacher workload.
As I said in my very first speech as Education Secretary to my party’s conference:
I don’t want my child to be taught by someone too tired, too stressed and too anxious to do the job well.
I don’t want any child to have to settle for that.
That’s why I launched the workload challenge, which received over 44,000 responses from the teaching profession on how we could cut down on their workload.
Off the back of that challenge we outlined a set of principles and a new workload protocol to ensure we gave schools and teachers a longer lead time before making significant changes to the curriculum, accountability or assessment and Ofsted committed to doing the same.
Ofsted have also issued a myth buster on inspections and we cut more than 21,000 pages of guidance to streamline the process.
Today, I am going further and publishing the results of the 3 workload review groups on marking , planning and data collection .
These groups were led by 3 outstanding female head teachers Lauren Costello, Kathryn Greenhalgh and Dawn Copping. The groups included representation from classroom teachers and union representatives - they are a great example of the profession taking charge of their own development. Thank you to all involved.
All 3 issues: marking, planning and data collection are important - no vital - to pupil outcomes. But too often they have become an end in of themselves detached from pupils. Green ink is added to school books because teachers think that’s what Ofsted wants to see, lesson plans are reinvented every year because school leaders think that’s what they should ask for and schools find themselves collecting ever more data, and even more frustratingly, sometimes the same data in different formats for different people.
The panels have come up with some clear recommendations for government, which I am now studying and looking at how to take forward. But importantly they also have clear recommendations for the profession as well - because as I’m sure you know, tackling workload requires much more than change from government, but culture change on the ground as well.
This isn’t the end of the process. We’re continuing to make decisions that will make your lives easier and clear the way for you to focus on teaching.
The proposals for Ofsted reform outlined in the white paper are designed to make sure you are not beholden to certain styles or methods of teaching. Removing the quality of teaching judgement means there will be less scrutiny on methods, and instead a focus on outcomes and pupil achievement.
At the same time, I want to be absolutely clear, that no teacher should ever have to work in fear of violence or harassment, either in school, outside of school, or online.
Like the rest of the country, I was horrified last year to read of the case of Vincent Uzomah, the teacher attacked in his own school.
And I was appalled to read in January about the case of teaching assistant Lesley-Ann Noel, knocked unconscious by a parent for doing her job.
And I was disgusted when I read some of NASUWT ’s research which shows the extent to which teachers are being trolled and abused on social media platforms. What is even more shocking is that this abuse doesn’t just come from pupils it can come from their parents as well.
It is unacceptable that this should happen to teachers.
Teachers are the pinnacle of the community, they are charged with the greatest of responsibilities, moulding the next generation, and that means we owe it to you to treat you with the greatest of respect.
Yes, I absolutely want parents to be involved in their children’s education and if they’re unhappy I want them to be able to demand more of schools. But if their actions spill over into abuse or violence, they should expect to be dealt with severely. Because there is never an excuse to threaten, harass or attack a teacher.
Your research suggests that these incidents are on the rise, and so I have asked my officials to start work on what more can be done to ensure we protect teachers, particularly online, and they will be using your research and engaging closely with the NASUWT and the police on how to do that.
Let me turn to the wider reforms in the white paper, because every single one of those reforms are about what we can do to create better environments for teaching and for teachers.
And yes, I’m talking about every school becoming an academy.
I know NASUWT has voiced concerns about the academies programme right from the outset but let’s be clear that this is about creating a system that is school-led; one that puts trust in you - the professionals inside the system, giving you the freedom from government to do your jobs as you see fit, based on the evidence of what you know works.
It isn’t for me, or officials in Whitehall, or Ofsted to decide how best to teach or run schools - it’s for you: the teachers who know better than anyone what works in the classroom and what your pupils need.
Alongside all of the other reforms outlined in the white paper the autonomy that academy status brings is ultimately about giving you the opportunity to step up and make the decisions that will shape the future of schools.
Considering a lot of the press coverage of our Educational Excellence Everywhere white paper you could be forgiven for thinking that full academisation is the only thing it says.
But schools becoming academies is only one chapter of a much bigger story told in the white paper about how we create the infrastructure that allows a self-improving school-led system to flourish: what role government should play in that system, when we should offer you support and when we should get out of the way.
Because as we make clear in the white paper, autonomy is not the same as abdication, for that school-led system to succeed we need to make sure you have access to the best training, the broadest support and a fair share of resources that will allow you to do your jobs to the best of your abilities.
So let me start with training.
In the white paper we outline how we want to strengthen initial teacher training ( ITT ).
What we want to see is more rigorous ITT content with a greater focus on evidence based practice and subject knowledge.
So we have set up an independent working group chaired by Stephen Munday, a school leader with a proven track record, to develop a new ITT core content framework.
To guarantee quality we will create new quality criteria for providers and allocate training places on the basis of those criteria.
And so that the best providers can plan ahead with a greater degree of certainty we will explore ways to allocate training places for several years so we can move away from the short-term allocations system of the past.
Schools know what schools need so we are clear that the ITT system should be increasingly school-led if it is to genuinely prepare trainee teachers for the careers ahead of them and ensure that the education system is able to recruit great teachers in every part of the country. Particularly where they are needed most.
There is evidence, from the recently published ‘Good Teacher Guide’, that the move to a school-led system has been positive, with high-quality training available and a high conversion rate of trainees.
Beyond ITT the white paper outlines how we intend to replace qualified teacher status ( QTS ) with a much stronger, more meaningful accreditation.
Our plan is to hand control of that accreditation to great schools and heads - creating a more robust system; that commands the confidence of parents and school teachers.
This reform to teacher accreditation will, I am sure, raise the status of teaching; allowing it to mature as a profession, gain control of its own destiny and take its rightful place alongside other great professions like law and medicine.
Like all professionals teachers need continuing professional development ( CPD ) which allows them to grow in their roles and adapt to meet the new challenges their jobs present them all the time.
We know that schools find it difficult to identify meaningful CPD opportunities which represent good value for money. I’m sure many of you have experiences of unproductive INSET days you could share with me.
So the white paper is clear that we will do more to support the provision of high-quality CPD by creating a new ‘Standard for Teachers’ Professional Development’.
We don’t want to author the standard ourselves. I’m sure the idea of CPD designed by the Department for Education fills you with dread, so we have set up an independent group of experts comprising classroom teachers, school leaders and academics to do it.
The standard they are developing, based on a robust assessment of the evidence, will represent a new benchmark for teachers’ professional development.
And our white paper commits us to supporting the establishment of an independent College of Teaching.
The new College of Teaching will be a professional body like those in other high status professions like law and medicine. It will be a voluntary membership organisation, independent of government, run by teachers for teachers.
The College will lead the profession in taking responsibility for its own improvement, supporting its members’ development and - much like the medical colleges - promoting the use of evidence to improve professional practice.
It will be the embodiment of the school-led system we envisage for England.
Finally, the white paper outlines our plan for a new national funding formula for schools . We want to put an end to the antiquated system of school funding which saw so many young people miss out on resources because of an unfair postcode lottery.
So we are delivering on our commitment to put in a place a fairer formula for schools, and for allocating high needs funding to LAs for both special needs and alternative provision. We believe that this is central to achieving educational excellence everywhere.
Because it must be right that the same child, with the same costs and same characteristics attracts the same funding. That is just basic fairness.
The formula itself will contain a significant weighting of disadvantage funding, but on top of that, we are also committed to the pupil premium so that pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds can get the extra resources they need and we want schools to use evidence to advance its effectiveness.
Thanks to the additional funding that the government announced last week our aim is to move 90% of schools due to gain onto this new formula by the end of this Parliament, so that schools aren’t kept waiting for the funding they deserve.
Fundamentally our white paper is there to outline our vision about how we improve the education system in this country.
And while I welcome challenge, I welcome debate, feedback and discussion, and I’ve already received lots of it on the white paper, I want to be clear there will be no pulling back from that vision, there is no reverse gear when it comes to our education reforms. Because we were elected with a mandate to drive up standards, and with your help that’s exactly what we want to do.
As I said earlier, we have a shared goal: creating a system that helps all young people to succeed and at the same time values excellent teachers.
Whatever my disagreements on issues of policy with Chris [Keates - NASUWT General Secretary] and Patrick [Roach - NASUWT Deputy General Secretary] I know that when they step up on behalf of their members they are doing it because they believe they can get a better deal for you - their members. That’s their job and I respect that.
And I hope that you can respect, that my job as Education Secretary is to make sure we get the best deal for young people.
But despite the job NASUWT and other unions do in representing teachers’ interests, I worry that sometimes the rhetoric risks straying into territory where it actually damages the reputation of the profession.
Let me take a case in point.
I visited the NASUWT website recently and found that of the last 20 press releases NASUWT has issued only 3 said anything positive.
Wouldn’t it be helpful if more of your press releases were actually positive about the teaching profession?
Because If I were a young person making decisions about my future career, and I saw some of the language coming out of NASUWT as well as some of the other unions, would I want to become a teacher? If I read about a profession standing on the precipice of crisis would I consider a life in teaching?
No I wouldn’t and it’s no surprise that TES research this week found that a third of teachers think that talk of a recruitment crisis was more likely to make them leave the profession. And ultimately those who talk of a crisis are being misleading. It doesn’t tell the whole story. Like the fact that 70% of vacancies advertised via TES are filled within 4 weeks of advertising.
Yes, recruitment is a challenge and we in government are stepping up, listening to school leaders, putting in place bursaries and schemes to encourage applicants for the subjects they tell us they find it difficult to recruit for.
I know NASUWT want to help - more so than other unions - and they already do good work boosting the teaching profession through the conferences and CPD sessions they run so why then talk it down so much?
Now I need NASUWT to do their bit. In an economy that is growing, with more graduate opportunities than ever before, why aren’t the teaching unions to do everything they can to help? Why aren’t they using the tools available to them to build up teachers, promote the profession and tell the story of what a rewarding job teaching really is?
That would be stepping up. Choosing to be part of the solution to the challenges we face in recruiting new teachers, rather than adding to the problem.
Just as I accept that this government hasn’t always got it right - and I wasn’t shy in saying that earlier - I want the teaching unions to accept that they haven’t always got it right either.
There isn’t another government just around the corner to be frank. I’m yet to hear concrete policy proposals on raising standards from our critics.
So teaching unions have a choice - spend the next 4 years doing battle with us and doing down the profession they represent in the process, or stepping up, seizing the opportunities and promise offered by the white paper and helping us to shape the future of the education system.
The education system I see - in the schools I visit up and down the country, at every opportunity - is not in disarray or crisis. Quite the opposite.
It is a system of increasing confidence, innovation and success. When I see professionals like Colin Hegarty, a teacher nominated for the international Varkey Foundation Award for his ground breaking approach to teaching maths; and Luke Sparkes, Principal at Dixons Trinity Academy in Bradford whose focus is on seeking out what pupils don’t know rather than affirming what they do, I know that the teaching profession is fizzing with bright new ideas as well as passionate teachers and leaders who are committed to driving up educational outcomes.
If NASUWT ’s leadership were being totally open, they wouldn’t tell you the system is in crisis either.
So let’s resolve to work together so that we can build the education system we agree we all want.
Ultimately it’s the young people up and down this country who will suffer if we don’t. They only get one shot at their time at school and they are counting on us - all of us - to give them the best possible start in life.
We all know how far we have come since 2010. And we have done it together.
Yes, we will continue to hold school leaders to account on behalf of children and parents. And where capacity is lacking, for whatever reason, we will make sure schools can get the support they need to improve. But we believe that educational excellence everywhere can only be achieved when the power rests in your hands.
You know how best to use it.
So I stand before you today to ask you to step up, decide to be a part of the exciting changes happening in the education system and seize all the opportunities that come with it.
Thank you.

When grown right, palm oil can be sustainable
| Source: | Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne |
| Summary: | Turning an abandoned pasture into a palm tree plantation can be carbon neutral, according to a new study. These findings, based on measurements of 56-year-old palm tree plantations in Colombia, suggest we may be able to find sustainable alternatives to deforestation for the production of palm oil — a practice currently under fire by environmentalists. |
Scientists from EPFL and WSL have been studying soils in oil palm cultivation for years, in an effort to develop more sustainable methods for growing this crop. Palm oil production has been criticized by environmentalists because of its large carbon footprint and negative impact on biodiversity. For instance, in Indonesia and Malaysia — the world's two biggest producers — it has directly or indirectly caused large-scale deforestation, thereby reducing biodiversity and releasing significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. And planting oil palm trees in the deforested areas does not make up for the lost carbon storage capacity, according to a 2018 study carried out by EPFL and WSL.
But the findings of a new study by EPFL and WSL — appearing today in Science Advances — indicate there may be a carbon-friendly alternative to deforestation. The scientists investigated oil palm crops that had been planted on former pastures in the Los Llanos region of Colombia, the world's fourth-largest palm oil producer. There, large areas of pastures — which themselves had been planted in the past on savannas — were replaced by oil palm plantations 56 years ago. By calculating the crops' carbon footprint since then, the scientists found that the total carbon storage — taking into account both vegetation and soil stocks — was unchanged relative to when the land had been used for pastures.
"Our study is the first to look at the carbon footprint of palm oil production over the long term — that is, across two plantation cycles, since oil palm trees are replaced every 25-30 years," says Juan Carlos Quezada, a PhD student at EPFL's Ecological Systems Laboratory (ECOS) and the study's lead author. "It's also the first to explore how converting pastures into oil palm farms affects soil quality and fertility over the long term, looking at all soil layers, not just the surface."
Carbon capture
In tropical climates, pastures — especially those that have been neglected and degraded — commonly consist of large grassy areas with a few small trees scattered around. Planting dense populations of oil palm trees — which can reach 15 meters in height — on these pastures can increase the carbon capture rate per unit of surface area, thanks to the palm trees' roots, trunks and leaves, as well as the vegetation around them.
Under typical farming methods, oil palm trees are cut down every 25-30 years and replaced with young trees to start a new plantation cycle. As the roots and other parts of the old trees decompose, they nourish the soil and partially offset the carbon initially lost in the upper soil layer when the pastureland was converted. As a result, over the long term cultivation period, the amount of carbon stored in the ecosystem remains unchanged compared to the initial level before land conversion took place.
An alternative worth exploring
"We should bear in mind that palm oil in and of itself is not harmful — neither to our health, when eaten in moderation, nor to the economy. And we're not talking just about multinationals — the incomes of hundreds of small farmers in Colombia and other countries depend on it," says Alexandre Buttler, head of ECOS and a co-author of the study. "The problem lies with the negative carbon impact and loss of biodiversity caused by deforestation. But the main palm oil producing countries have large abandoned pastures that could be converted favorably, thus limiting the massive carbon loss resulting from deforestation."
This study was conducted as part of the Oil Palm Adaptive Landscapes (OPAL) project, a cross-disciplinary initiative funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and led by ETH Zurich. OPAL brings together project partners from Switzerland, Indonesia, Colombia and Cameroon. Local universities, research institutes and the WWF in the latter three countries have a stake in the project, raising awareness about this issue among their local communities in order to promote the development of sustainable alternatives.
