requires improvement

On this special livestream episode which is available on Youtube for a limited time at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eVWedrC5gI&t=3256s Requires Improvement were honoured contributors to The World Transformed Online 2020 #twt20 for a classic round of consideration about what is happening and in need of reform in the current education system, with viewer contributions submitting questions and co-hosts Nik, Lauren, Anu, Charlie and Lee. In this episode we discuss school re-openings and whether schools are currently safe, the exam system during the pandemic, conditions in prison education, financial constraints of the education system exacerbating dangers of the pandemic and the current situation for supply teachers and their potential to help. We fielded some great questions from viewers, which were: 1) What would be your top tips for new teachers starting training this month? 2) Can you really reform a system that was created for the reproduction of capitalist relations though> 3) How can parents and schools work better together to tackle the special educational needs crisis? 4) What do you think we should be doing collectively to make sure there is more diversity in the curriculum?
