requires improvement

In this episode of Requires Improvement hosts Charlie and Anu are joined by Lana Crosbie, who is a National Education Union rep and branch officer, and a member of No More Exclusions who are a campaigning network of educators and activists pushing for urgent reform to the UK education system. NME work with schools, students and communities in order challenge and address issues around systemic and structural racism, with a view to abolishing practices which exclude children from education - practices which demonstrably fail to address the underlying social problems that too often have disastrous consequences for the life chances of young people. Lana discusses the ideology and role of No More Exclusions, alongside highlighting their links to other organizations such as the Coalition of Anti-Racist Educators, Black Educators Alliance and Pupil Voice.
