Teachers' Conference 2026
Pembroke College is proud to announce its inaugural Teachers’ Conference, taking place on 30th June 2026.
A one-night residential conference is aimed at teachers and school leaders across all school types in the UK who have responsibility for progression or university choice in their school.
The title of our conference this year will be From Classroom to Career: Why the Humanities Matter.
Conference Programme
From Classroom to Career: Why the Humanities Matter
Increasingly, education is being treated as training. Like schools, we have seen a huge growth in the popularity of STEM subjects, while applications to the humanities are falling and humanities departments in other universities in the UK are closing.
Our conference will explore ways in which universities and school leaders can promote to students the value of humanities to future employers and how they lead to careers, and how school leaders can develop programmes in their own schools for high achieving and ambitious students.
A full programme and list of speakers will be announced in due course.
