001// Private Schools, Funding, Climate Strike, Cultural Capital, Exclusions

requires improvement

In this debut episode of "Requires Improvement", a friendly bunch of classroom teachers, trade unionists and education activists based in Bristol cast a critical eye over the hot current topics in education news, with an unashamedly radical political outlook. In this week's episode, lead by Nick and joined by Charlie, Anu, Lauren and Lee, we cover private schools, education funding promises and Facebook advertising controversies, support for student climate strikers, recent governmental attempts to mandate what is "Cultural Capital" and the nature of exclusions in the present education system.
