In addition, to complement the 2012 Festival focus on re-evaluating, rethinking and reconnecting with a changing world, the OU in Scotland sponsored a series of debates looking at the real value we place on three aspects of society - education, wellbeing and the environment. Melissa Benn was joined by the Director of the OU in Scotland, Dr James Miller and Mike Russell, the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, for a lively discussion at the education debate that considered the divergent education policies across the UK.
