Mired in corruption and cronyism and failing to meet the needs of our children in schools, we must put an end to academisation – the privatisation and marketisation of our education service.
Come and join parents, teachers, school staff, community campaigners and academics to discuss how we can do this. There have been numerous successful campaigns against academisation over the last year and report after report has shown the failure of this government policy.
We need a huge public debate about the future of education including aims, funding, structures and standards. We need a pedagogy and curriculum fit for a diverse 21st century society. But above all, we need to build a National Education Service together where all our schools are under local democratic control.
This will also be the AGM of the Anti Academies Alliance, where we will elect our officers and steering committee for the year ahead. Nominations for these roles will be very welcome!
