Campfire Conversations #004: Pupil Power: "Children are treated like economic commodities"

Episode 4 of Rethinking Education Campfire Conversations, a series of live-streamed, group conversations with people who want to rethink and reform education so as to bring about a more harmonious, less hair-raising state of world affairs. Today, Dr James Mannion, Kate McAllister, Kath Pratt and Natalie Rothwell-Warn are joined by three young people from Pupil Power - Sephora, 18, Yumna, 16, and Zoya, who is in Year 10. This is a powerful conversation in which we discuss, among other things: why education can’t simply be reformed; how children are treated as economic commodities - their words, not mine; and in which we pose the question: “What if… schools nurtured young imaginations?” Here's a link to Yumna's TEDx talk, Re-Imagining Education To Create An Impact In The World: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkpeN64AuLU To view the video version, visit: https://youtu.be/1hEOrzmXWLs To view the comment feed, join the (private) Rethinking Education Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rethinkinged To join the Rethinking Education Mighty Network, visit: https://rethinking-education.mn.co/feed
