Podcast: Covid catch-up and teaching ‘cancel culture’

Podcast Sep 25

Join the Tes news team as we discuss the warning from headteachers that school Covid costs could ‘wipe out’ catch-up funding.

We also talk about the plight of disadvantaged pupils after lockdown, and how they may not be the only ones to have fallen behind - 93 per cent of GCSE and A-level teachers say their classes are not at the point where they’d expect them to be under normal circumstances.

We discuss whether GCSE exams could be taken online next summer as a safety measure against coronavirus.

And we look at the DfE’s new guidance on how to teach the RSE curriculum, including that ‘no platforming’ is ‘harmful’ and that teachers should explain ‘harm’ caused by ‘cancel culture’ and the importance of freedom of speech.

We end on the former investment banker turned maths teacher who is in the running for the $1m Global Teacher Prize.
