What is education about? It involves learning about how society functions, alongside developing potential to cope with and contribute positively to our community, in line with personal needs. We do this through exchanges with others, but give little attention to this verbal and non-verbal process, with limited understanding of how it affects teaching and learning. Most classroom disruptions stem from inability to process and produce required information, so prioritising this reaps benefits in higher student personal and academic standards. Examining other education systems has led to a close scrutiny of British education, in a study evaluating interactions between FE teachers and students.
