Caution: Percentage may not indicate academic misconduct. Review required.
Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that
the score is less reliable.
However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the
percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in
greater detail according to their school's policies.
Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.
In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing
ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student.
Disclaimer
Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an
organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

Introduction
I am the Program Leader for the Diploma in Education and Training Level 5 and a
lecturer with FSET QTLS accreditation; I help future educators in their professional
development. Being a Business Lecturer in Business Management and Sustainability
BA Hons, I help business pupils get the highest grades. This essay will focus on who
all the stakeholders are affected by higher education philosophy, Policy, and practice.
One of the keys aims of the essay is to shed light on the intricate interrelations that
drive the existing education dialogue through consideration of the determinants,
outcomes, and consequences.
Discussion
The Education Act 1996, which regulates education in England and Wales, has now
allowed online and distance learning. 2010 Education Acts were followed by the
Academies Act that gave more autonomy to schools, and also the authority over their
own curricula, including online learning. The COVID-19 pandemic triggered the
shift in the use of e-learning mechanisms and pushed the decision makers to consider
the digital technologies in the traditional classroom instruction. The governments, all
over the world, put out brisk emergency actions thus making sure that the classes
continued online as well (Manning, 2017). While amongst these programs was the
introduction of digital platforms, teacher training, and also the distribution of digital
devices plus the internet access to students from the poor background. The topic
which has been social injustice is the primary question which arose when the aspect
of diversity in the higher education was concerned.
In the accordance to the 2010 Equality Act which prohibits discrimination on the
grounds of race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability, certainly, the Job Centre
will not engage in such practices. Universities and learning centres pay attention to
building positive and welcoming classroom lines, which cater to the needs of a
diverse student group (Bal, 2021). Mentoring, targeted communication, and
discipline of teaching with a diversity approach are the key elements to eliminating
the systemic barriers to continued education in order to give an opportunity to all.
Another matter which catches the eye as relevant to the issue of UCAS change of
paradigm is using a meritocratic assessment structure in it. Universities have been
facing criticism due to keeping the colleges for the rich which in turn perpetuates the
educational discrimination. The UCAS process, unlike other traditional means,
ensures that students are admitted to institutions of higher learning based on their
Level 7 Diploma in Education L7DEML/U1B/07211
abilities and potential rather than examination scores. Consequently, the program is
aimed at providing each candidate with an opportunity to showcase their unique skills
and characteristics. Thus, it might decrease students' disadvantages when they apply
to higher education institutions (Daniel 2020).
Education theory, Policy, and practice are influenced by a complex array of internal
and external factors that shape the learning environment and raise important
questions about inclusivity and effectiveness. Cultural trend changes, technologies
improvement, as well as unforeseen circumstances, such as the COVID-19
pandemic, are also among the factors which play a role in education. This delicate
situation has impacts on children, teachers, policymakers and society as reported by
Tadesse and Mukuyu (2020). Education policy comprising diversity and equity have
profound impact so its imperfections can’t be overlooked. The UK Equality Act 2010
makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of background and ability. On the other
hand, schools may face difficulties in meeting all the needs of the learner population.
This Policy Framework Supports Diversity. Teachers and administrators would need
to strike a balance of these objectives with the marginalized students and students
with special needs. It threatens everyday classroom activities, allocation of resources
and school performance (Tarkar, 2020).
This gap has led poor families to be especially burdened with boys and girls who
can’t attend school, according to the works of Qureshi et al. (2021). Online classes
point out issues related to digital literacy which show the necessity of teacher training
and its digital infrastructure. Another concern for education in cultural diversity is to
find the inclusive processes which might be hard sometimes. To teach the kids with
special needs or talent within the cultural responsiveness, the pedagogy and support
are mandatory. Polarization of views and disagreements regarding educational
philosophies and values splits the society and makes the political decision-making
process harder (Akour and Alenezi, 2022). Narrowing the digital divide, enhancing
diversity, and using a joint strategy of education should be a top priority for
politicians and educators. Technology and training investments a requisite for
guaranteeing that all students enjoy equal access to education opportunities. Synergy
contributed to changing the teaching strategies by taking into account the ideas from
different ideologies, and the outcome was a more favorable and equal education
system (Haleem et al., 2022).
Stakeholders like the practitioners, the funders, the students and the education
organisations, their opinons, expectations and the requirements have significantly
influenced the theory, Policy and practice of education. In this regard, teachers may
encounter difficulties of having to match their classroom handling with virtual
teaching situations, all the while the students might enjoy the comfort and freedom
of online learning. Likewise, the targeting of legislators and funders towards funding
the teacher's preparation and the digital infrastructure may is emphasised so as to
enable the online transition of education (Enosi, 2021).
This demands a study of how education as a theory, Policy, and practice changes the
relationships between students, educators, and administrators in higher education.
The influencers include governmental authorities, taxpayers, teachers, parents,
workers, students, and corporations (Raptopoulou, 2021). Education theories,
policies, and practices affect all stakeholders, creating a maze of issues and
opportunities. Because students drive educational institutions, higher education
ideas, policies, and practices affect students' educational experiences and academic
objectives. Diversity and inclusion in educational policies can boost learning for
disadvantaged children. It does this by fostering academic success and community.
Insiders and other interested parties in post-secondary education have seen different
effects from education philosophy, Policy, and practice. Teachers may struggle to
adapt to new tools and procedures, which may increase their workload and decrease
their enjoyment of work, but diversifying and implementing inclusion in the Policy
may help teachers create a more interactive and fun learning environment for
students. However, policymakers have more freedom to provide education, and e-
learning concerns the health risks of too much screen time for students (Raptopoulou,
2021). Diversity programs teach academics and inclusivity, but tokenism may hurt
academic pride and community. Parents like that digital schooling is accessible.
However, parents may question the efficacy of online education and its effects on
their children (Raptopoulou, 2021). Taxpayers and corporations may support
educational reform that promotes differentiation and creativity, but they may dispute
plan distribution and implementation (Santos et al., 2020). Thus, educational
theories, policies, and practices can inspire revolution but also present formidable
obstacles that must be overcome by all stakeholders.
Conclusion
Lastly, education philosophy, Policy, and practice affect higher education enrolment
metrics. These dynamics can foster innovation, diversity, and collaboration, but they
can also cause equitable issues in education, institutional capacity, and resource use.

The route that educational regulations are taking has a profound influence on the way
educators institute teaching, students interact with the materials, and academic
success is assessed. Significant legislative reforms in the sector of education such as
during the COVID-19 pandemic period and the GDPR, Equity Act, and Equality Act
have created both opportunities and challenges (Karakose, 2021).
On the other hand, the adoption of the Equality Act has aided the educators in the use
of inclusive teaching approaches that match the needs of the different student
populations. Therefore, for teachers to make sure that every student has equal access
to learning materials and a chance to learn, they now have to cater for the specific
needs and ideas of each and every student. The incorporation of various techniques
such as differentiated instruction and inclusive classrooms as well as personalised
plans has promoted a more supportive and inclusive learning environment for
students of all abilities. One of the effects that the enforcement of GDPR has had on
learning is the fact that there is an impact on security and privacy (Meinck et al.,
2022). The security of the student’s information becomes paramount for teachers
who use digital platforms for classroom instruction. Therefore; teachers have to
prove their worth and adhere to strict data protection regulations. While data
protection may be ensured, such rules may also increase the difficulty of handling
and complying with the data for administration as well.
Data privacy is another major legislative action which is evident through the broader
coverage of laws like GDPR. Such regulations place severe limitations on educators
who must use digital media, taking into consideration student privacy and data
protection. On the one hand, compliance may provide data privacy but on the other
hand, it might increase data management and maintaining. Furthermore, virtual
learning which came by as a result of pandemic has forced the adaption of new
methods in teaching and assessment as well. Such transformation accentuates the
touchstone of egalitarianism in digital education and the need to reconsider
traditional learning methods in order to upkeep equality and academic morality in
digital environments.
Through the establishment of feedback tools such as peer observations and student
evaluations, teachers could identify the spots that require further improvement. This
could include topics, concerning the way they teach, the way the curricula are
created, or the way students are evaluated. By continuous process of progressive
improvement, which main goal is to reach higher levels of performance and
efficiency, is what is meant by continuous improvement. Increments of progress
come from reflecting on the areas for improvement, making the necessary changes,
and seeing the outcome of these alterations. Tilak and Kumar (2022) define
continuous improvement in education as an approach, which lays down emphasis on
the use of data-driven decision making, a culture of innovation and experimentation
and a pledge to reflective practice.
Many models based on the continuous improvement could be used as a basis for
implementing this idea in education. Four key stages comprise the widely used Plan-
Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle: designing, starting, evaluating, and revising. This
sequential approach allows the teachers to assess students' progress and to evaluate
and refine the therapies in the systematic way. Besides, the methods are adjusted
depending on constructive critique and the results get. One of the vital attributes of
CIP is the development of improvement plans, which act as a map for solving the
identified requirements and reaching the established improvement goals. These
schemes provide details on exact activities to be performed, deadlines, and persons
responsible for them. This allows for accountability and provision with
organisational objectives (Werner and Woessmann, 2023). In addition, the task of
implementing development plans can be characterised by significant challenges
resistance to changes is likely to be encountered. In order to empower partnership
and the investment of stakeholders, the educators have to engage the stakeholders,
justify the reasons for change, and give the resources and support.
can involve going to classrooms, workshops, and online courses. The observers, peer
observations, and student assessments are also part of the CPD. The study of Daniel,
(2020) shows the fact that feedback in CPD matters a lot and its relevance in teachers'
effectiveness and students' achievements may be gauged. Moreover, being involved
in joint expert led learning communities through the exchange of know-how and
communal problem solving (Panjwani and Shili, 2020) leads to this effect. The
strategies of CPD such as this one made you reach your targets of very high-quality
courses and great learning environment.
While implementing changes, an organisation must carefully plan and work closely
with others in order to avoid disruptions and to achieve efficiency. Educators can
conduct small-scale pilot testing in advance of larger-scale rollout of programmes
through this approach. Thanks to this feature, step-by-step improvements in addition
to feedback from life can be made. Another fundamental aspect of the controls
implementation for improving results by individuals is setting up policies for
monitoring and evaluation of the long-term outcomes (Raptopoulou, 2021). This can
include gathering and analysing student performance data, conducting routine
assessments of the quality of instruction, and seeking the views of different
stakeholders. Finally, the developmental process in education turns in a circle, where
knowledge from one stage serves as inputs for the next stage. Through this cycle
educators develop a culture of continuous learning and improvement which promotes
a healthy change while enhancing the educational experience for all of the
educational stakeholders.
Quality management models and theories play a crucial role in service delivery
within educational institutions. Stakeholders’ satisfaction and the efficiency of
processes are the primary goals of this team. The Deming cycle, force field analysis,
TQM, lean management, and Total Quality Management (TQM) are used in
education along with other improving the quality of service concept. These models
offer valuable benefits, however, all of them have drawbacks which should be taken
into account before application. Grynyuk et al. (2022) argue that force field analysis
enables the determination of factors that may support or obstruct organizational
growth. Hence, educational institutions will be able to monitor the performance
through this approach for dealing with the change. Subjectivity of evaluation has
appeared to be its impediment, therefore, as such characteristics often tend to be
complex and difficult to distinguish. Such subjectivity can impede the effectiveness
of this framework in some educational environments and can make the acceptance
challenging.
Benchmarking refers to a quality management tool whereby firms can look up their
performance in contrast to best practices and industry standards. The facility to learn
top schools' operations can increase education effectiveness and competitiveness.
Benchmarking measures the external validation parameters, and it can be used for
information collection about the organization's performance based on Balls (2021).
The internal benchmark may not be possible due to an absence of organizational
agreement or transparency. Benchmarking could not provide all the needed answers
for the improvement of the service delivery due to the reluctance. The concepts of
lean management such as continuous flow and just-in-time production are now more
frequently implemented for educational services too. Putting these regulations into
effect imply the promotion of creativity, the reduction of waste, and the increase of
output. Although these encompass benefits, the force of organisational and cultural
change resistance can slow down lean management implementation. Lean
management requires leadership participation which is often not easy in some
educational settings.
Force field analysis is a systemic method to identify and evaluate the factors
controlling organisational transformation. The drawbacks are complex and
subjective; the advantages on the other side are change management and finding out
the cause (Daniel, 2020). Industry comparison and external validation can be
conducted by using benchmarking; however, benchmarking internally may be a
challenge. One negative side of lean management, which promotes creativity and
productivity, is the possibility of facing resistance. TQM is relatively cost-intensive
but it centers business culture, quality, and customer focus. PDCA circle executes the
process of constant improvement however it requires relentless devotion. However,
each model possesses strengths and limitations specific to it thus, educational
institutions need to devise strategies suitable to them (Ferlie and Ongaro, 2022).
In conclusion, each quality management model and theory have unique strengths and
limitations in the context of service delivery within educational institutions. While
these models can foster organizational growth, customer satisfaction, and continuous
learning, they may also encounter resistance to change, high resource requirements,
and subjective assessments. Educational institutions must carefully evaluate these
factors when selecting the most appropriate model for their context. By
understanding these dynamics, educational leaders can make informed decisions to
enhance service delivery and meet stakeholders' expectations. Ultimately, a flexible
and adaptive approach, informed by a thorough literature review, is essential to

You are required to evaluate the impact of legislations on current educational practice.

Politics is the force that is behind the changing of policies, practices, and the
performance of students in the education system. This partnership depends on the
legislation which determines curriculum, instructional practice, assessment and
objectives of learning. Legislative mandates provide the guidelines to work with
which and what, the way of, inclusiveness and accountability for teachers and the
institutions. After being QTLS-certified instructor and Diploma in Education and
Training Level 5 leading Programme Leadership, I noticed the changes and impacts
on educational activities. Another sphere in which laws have had a tremendous
influence is the equalization and integration of students in education. The UK
equality law specifies that schools should uphold dignity and non-discrimination
(Werner and Woessmann, 2022).
The law of an inclusive culture means that educational institutions promote equality
in terms of gender, race, and sexual orientation. Additionally, students with
disabilities should be provided with appropriate conditions for learning. I believe my
role is to further diversify the learning environment with teachers given implicit bias
training and educational resources being thoroughly looked into to make sure they
are inclusive (Meinck et al., 2022). A curriculum that shows care for diversity and an
approach that suits all children, regardless of the race yielded the consequences.
Another mentioned legislative change is the Children and Families Act of 2014,
which has undoubtedly had a dramatic effect on the supply of SEND services (special
educational needs and disabilities). Make the educational institutions provide
appropriate helping hand and accommodations to SEND students for inclusive
education will be promoted through this law. Seeing this law in action as a certified
lecturer made me witness the rising number of collaborations between teachers,
parents, and other groups in developing IEPs for students who have special needs
(Karakose, 2021).
students' interest and enthusiasm but also prove to be frustrating for the teachers.
It is difficult for instructors to make the programs popular as well as engaging for the
student. A range of creative solutions are necessary to accomplish education while in
compliance with regulatory requirements. Legislation has been of essence to
integrate technology within the education systems (Ball, 2021). Policies supporting
the cyber knowledge and use of technology help turn the class into the stage of active
participation and interaction. Countries that embraced emergency laws to deal with
the COVID-19 pandemic ushered in online learning and education. As a Programme
coordinator, I have had an opportunity to see how technology is slowly integrated
into education which gives space to students to work together, go for online classes
and easily getting internet materials. The result of this development is that fairness
in digital then becomes a matter of concern because not all students have the means
of accessing the technology or have a home environment conducive for learning.
However, the implication of legislature on child protection and safety has been
somewhat ground-breaking for the educational practices (Manning 2017).
To keep the little ones safe in education (KCSIE) guidelines mandate educational
institutions to abide by the elaborate safeguarding protocols. In the capacity of the
issued lecturer these bills have a major role in changing reporting protocols,
protecting leaders, and training. It has also helped to raise the level of awareness
among staff about child protection duties. In addition to this, the GDPR and Data
Protection Act of 2018 enhanced the rules on how educational institutions should
deal with personal data (Daniel, 2020). As a programme leader, I have witnessed
agencies increase data communication standards and protect student data with more
security.
Creation of more secure digital platforms and educating teachers on data security and
privacy training give rise to new educational models. Such legislative initiatives have
a tremendous value for the improvement of educational practices that bring about an
inclusive and safe learning environment. These technologies require the updating of
competencies, resources of supervision, and complex legal rules (Tarkar, 2020).
Notwithstanding this, the ultimate influence/outcome of the legislation as it pertains
to the education system is a better accountable and more equal education system. As
a certified lecturer and Programme Leader it is necessary to have the ability to
accommodate these changes which also involve lifelong learning and student-
centered education. However, the task is to get the right balance considering
legislative obligations and at the same time devise creative and inclusive approaches
that aim at lifelong learning and comprehensive development.
