From the publisher
Do we need to write this down? A question that echoes through classrooms and schools. This podcast starts there, unpacking what school asks us to remember, what we leave behind, and how our education shapes us long after the lessons end. Because education touches everyone’s lives: your experience could be positive, negative or a mixture of the two, but it’s one of the few things that everyone has an opinion on. This podcast discusses all elements of the education system in the UK and beyond, hosted by the Outreach team at New College, Oxford. Each week, Dan and Shelby are joined by industry experts, chatting about a wide range of topics including bullying, home-schooling, the importance of early years and much more. Tune in for a fresh and relevant deep dive into the theme of education.
