Frank and Stan Chat No.171

We've been trying to secure a slot to have the brilliant Sameena Choudry back as a guest and she certainly didn't disappoint. In a week when there was the Coroner's verdict on the Headteacher at Caversham Primary School, the lack of strong leadership emanating from the Covid Inquiry, a Prime Minister trying to say that Rwanda is a safe country when only a few months ago Supreme Couty judges determined that it wasn't, PISA findings and a troubling UNESCO report on appalling increase in levels of child poverty in recent years it was a tough ask to find just three things to chat about. We ended up with four!1. Ruth Perry2. Child Poverty levels in the UK3. Recruitment and retention of teachers and leaders4. Why local support is often the most effectiveIt is an interesting and at times troubling chat. We are fortunate to have guests like Sameena joining us. We will try to secure a date for her to return in 2024. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
