Built for Yesterday? Are Schools Failing the Future?: The Late Show with Tim Smale

from Teachers Talk Radio · host Teachers Talk Radio

Join us for a Late Show special in which Tim sits down with Peter Hyman: former Downing Street speechwriter, co-founder of School 21, and one of the most persistent voices in England for genuine curriculum reform. Together they`ll tackle oracy, the growing crisis around boys in education, whether teachers are part of the problem, and the almost one million young people currently classified as NEET. It is a direct, challenging and at times uncomfortable conversation about whether schools are truly preparing young people for the world they are actually going to live in.
