Is our current education system debate actually helping students succeed? In this episode, we examine why modern school curriculum changes may still be failing to prepare children for real life.


We discuss whether schools need a major rethink, from Ofsted and outdated classroom structures to teaching life skills, student wellbeing and how we can change the classroom conversation for the next generation.
