Education Politics March 2019

The spring issue of Education Politics is now available at https://socialisteducationalassociation.org/publications/. It has a strong focus on the impact current policies are having on children’s lives – in particular in early years and SEND and through a review of the former Children’s Commissioner’s new book Childhood Betrayed. It contains a report of Stephen Gorard’s Caroline Benn Lecture “Lets make education fairer” which applies statistical analysis to many current policies and finds them sadly lacking. There is also a historical focus with articles ion the Burston School strike and on 100 years of Labour policy making.
