Currently, we see a future for our children and young people where extreme and entrenched income and wealth inequality are seen as problematic, yet an unavoidable consequence of economic growth. Discussions around social mobility embed the belief that the only barrier to success in the UK is a lack of hard work, despite all the evidence that shows this to be untrue. We develop new resources to be used in schools and colleges to support teachers and students to question these assumptions.

Teaching Inequality: 'Do we need greater equality for peace?'

(0)
As part of our involvement with the upcoming Teach Peace pack for secondary schools, from the Peace Education Network, we produced a lesson plan, presentation and teacher notes on the topic ‘Do we need greater equality for peace?’ This lesson enables learners to critically engage with research data on the effects of inequality, particularly as it relates to the incidence of violence within society. The likely causes of the linkage are also covered. Learners are encouraged to think about the issues from their own viewpoint and consideration is given to ways in which the issues raised might be addressed.
