22: Britain's Crumbling Schools

Welcome back to our latest episode of the Unlearn Something Podcast! We are two teachers unlearning in our classrooms and sparking conversations in yours.

In this episode Miss D and Miss S,  review the BBC Panorama investigative documentary into the state of many of Britain’s school buildings including schools  managing a building material known as Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC). We discuss the timeline leading to the current UK school  building crisis and the conditions education staff and pupils are expected to work in.
