CHAPTER

The Rise of the Far Right and Education Reforms

This chapter delves into the rise of the far right influenced by unaddressed systemic challenges under left-of-center governments, volatile voting behavior, and significant shifts in voting patterns. It explores betrayals felt by voters towards the Labour Party, concerns about national security, reflections on education reforms by the Conservative government, and the importance of continuity in education policymaking. The conversation also delves into potential changes to the education curriculum, efforts to bridge political divides, challenges faced by state schools, and the importance of addressing child poverty and childcare alongside education.
