Join NEU London New and Young Educators network to discuss the problems facing our education system and the solutions proposed by radical trade unionists and campaigners.
As well as a great discussion, we will be providing free pizzas and a chance to meet fellow trade unionists in education!
For decades, the very idea of a comprehensive, free and equal education system has come under attack in the UK. After the latest round of Conservative rule, our schools are growing intolerably unequal, authoritarian and pedagogically backward. It is clear that the dominant ruling vision of education in our society is for one that reproduces a class society - with the inequalities and injustices of racism and sexism unchanged. The vast majority of students and educators want to find another way.
How can we fight most effectively for a just education system? Is it even possible to achieve this in a capitalist society?
The meeting will be participatory and open in spirit. We look forward to discussing these issues collectively to strengthen our movement.
