The Rest Is Politics
557. Can Burnham Deliver Britain's Biggest Change in Generations?
Description
Can Andy Burnham, in a single term or less, fix problems like social care that are generations in the making? Is his new push for vocational education a long-overdue fix for Britain's broken skills system, or a betrayal of the working-class kids who have the most to gain from a rigorous academic education? As wildfires tear through France and Spain, have we already passed the climate and nature tipping point? Join Rory and Alastair as they answer all these questions and more. __________ Enjoy Rory and Alastair’s interview with Kristrún Frostadóttir, Prime Minister of Iceland, by searching ‘Leading’ on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.

1Thank you Rory, we rarely agree but your point is exactly how I see it. I’m from the Netherlands and our vocational education is allright but it is still looked down upon by “elite” highly theoretical educated people. Unpaid internships for vocational training is killing a lot of enthousiasme for these trades while the cost of living makes this more difficult.
