What the Army can teach us with Richard Watts
from HEP Talks · host Haringey Education Partnership
The British Army isn't necessarily associated with education, but in this episode of HEP Talks, Richard Watts, Director of Educational and Regional Marketing for the Recruiting Partnership Project at British Army and Capita, explains to Luke Kemper that, actually, the Army is an educational provider. On top of the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, the Army has also developed the BASE - British Army Supporting Education - Programme, which provides free digital resources in multiple subjects for class teachers to use, and opportunities for pupils to learn a little bit more about the Army in the meantime. Richard and Luke talk about these resources, how and why they were designed, and why the Army makes education one of its priorities.
