Failing To Invest in Young People? Then Prepare for Society to Fail

EP 360 - Don’t knock teachers unless you’ve tried to do it
yourself! Why politicians should find the money to fund education
for all and stop using teachers as a political punchbag,
especially if they have never set foot in a state school
classroom.


Our archive special this week is Mehreen Baig, author,
documentarian and former secondary school teacher who makes a
compelling case that failure to invest in young people in general
and education in particular is storing up problems for society in
years to come.


We thought it was timely to revisit this episode, to see if
Labour’s ‘milestone’ announcement around investment in early
years education measures up to what is actually needed.
