I’VE been a teacher for nearly a decade now and as such I’m in a privileged position — I have the best job in the world. It also means that I see every day the burning injustice in our society played out in our education system, riddled as it is with hierarchy and elitism.
On one hand we have a state system underfunded to such an extent that we have to teach in overcrowded classrooms in crumbling buildings while on the other side of the tracks private schools lavish the children of the wealthy with luxury facilities. Add onto this growing rates of child poverty and massive increases in inequality in society as a whole and state schools face a perfect storm.
That’s why I got involved in the Labour Party and why it was amazing to see that our campaign Labour Against Private Schools (#AbolishEton) had caused such a major shift in Labour policy.
