Why Are Some Children Worth More? Report launch with Sol Gamsu and Common Wealth

The World Transformed

A discussion of a new report from Common Wealth looking at the economic gap between private and state schools across England. The report by Dr Sol Gamsu shows how English private schools receive four times as much money per pupil as local state secondary. In some schools this figure is much higher with the wealthiest schools in the South of England having 8,9,10 times the income of local state secondary schools. Is a system where some schools have tens of thousands of pounds to spend per pupil justifiable? With: Dr Sol Gamsu (Durham University) // Professor Rebecca Boden (Tampere University) // Steven Longden (Abolish Eton).
