The English Trust for European Education ((ETEE )) is a UK registered charitable organisation founded in 2008 to further the principles of European Education in England, as taught in the European School, Culham. Prof. Norman Davies, Baroness Quin, Lord Thomas of Swynnerton and Gerald Wilson, Chairman of the Scottish European Educational Trust (SEET ) form the Board of Patrons of the (ETEE ). The English Trust for European Education is currently engaged in the transformation of the Culham School into a new type of European school. The Academy plan (English school)〔( Plan to Save European School in Jeopardy, The Guardian, 31 October 2008 )〕〔( European School in Academy Plan, BBC News, 24 November 2009 )〕 fell through in February 2011, due to the withdrawal of the state appointed sponsor, CLASS (no longer in existence). There was later controversy, however, even within ETEE as to whether a state school of that kind would have been appropriate.〔(The Abingdon Herald, 22 February 2011 )〕 A Round Table discussion organised in April 2011 by ETEE about the possibility of starting a Free school (England) took place in Oxford, attended also by a representative of the (Culham(Parish)School ) with a view of joining up forces to stave off the closure of both educational establishments.〔(The Oxford Mail, 18 April 2011 )〕 This option was explored by the European School Parents Association and other stakeholders, but the Culham Parish School no longer appears to be in jeopardy, so the Steering Group has instead submitted to the Department for Education an application for its own separate Free School ((Free School UK )) starting in September 2012. The result of the submission was initially expected in September 2011, but was in fact announced by the Secretary of State for Education on October 10.〔(The Abingdon Herald, 6 June 2011 )〕〔(The Oxford Times, 6 June 2011 )〕〔(A Free School for the County, The Oxford Mail, 11 October 2011 )〕 〔(The Oxford Times, 29 August 2011 )〕 In addition to its work on the transformation of the Culham School, the English Trust for European Education organises an annual conference on multi-literacy and on supporting teachers engaged in language teaching. The last "Schools for the Future of Europe"(conference ) took place at Kellogg College, on June 4, 2010. However, the Trustees decided not to arrange a conference in 2011, due to the loan of their Vice-Chairman to the Europa Free School Steering Group as their temporary Chairman. The Trust is instead organising a collaborative framework of independent and accredited European Schools in September (these are Type 2 and Type 3 schools as defined by the new initiative of the Board of Governors of European Schools),〔(Introduction to Accredited Schools )〕 in order to foster links among these newly created institutions. Among other activities the Trust campaigned against proposed cuts to the Foreign Language Assistants scheme at the end of 2010.〔(UK Government Cuts Undermining Language Education )〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「English Trust for European Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
