Listen to the debate
This episode brings a discussion on curriculum and the very topical 'knowledge vs. skills' debate. Guest hosts Oli de Botton and Lewis Iwu also join the conversation to give some inisight on what they think. A lot of discussion came out about there needing to be a balance between the two, rather than a choice between the importance of one over the other.
In this episode it’s Laura’s turn to take the stand and defend what some see as unthinkable. In this heated conversation Laura believes that there are other ways to prepare children for the world of work than careers education, and that there are better ways to use the school's time. This week's guests are Tristram Hooley and Carl Fazackerley.
