We are pleased to announce a webinar event on Sunday 19th September at 11.30am. Book your ticket HERE.
As debate about the future of education rages all around us, not enough is being said about the core failing of English education: rank inequality. In this special online meeting, held ahead of the party conference season, and drawing on a wide range of political perspectives, we ask ‘What Would A Socially Just Education System Look Like?”
We have a great lineup of speakers.
