I need advice on an interview problem!

I have an interview to do PCGE and History a the University of Birmingham, and I have to do a 7 minute presentation on 'a current issue in education'.

Do you think that would be a presentation on a history topic? or on something to do with education?

Any help will be amazing.
Thank you!

A current issue in education anything to do with Michael gove's current reforms. How about the new history curriculum? That's particularly relevant to you

Yes! I noticed that they have made the new history curriculum very open-ended. I just wasn't sure if they meant I should focus on a history topic such as Ancient Greek Gods, or if I should do as you said and look at a current issue in education!

It specifically says an educational issue so I'd do that

Doing the new history curriculum shows awareness of current educational issues and that you know enough to research your specific subject that's double brownie points!
