The education revolution

Episode notes

From the way we teach to what we teach — and from the sex ed syllabus to free schools and academies — education has changed dramatically in recent decades. Across the country, there’s been an education revolution underway, and being a teacher now is more exciting than ever before.

To discuss how our classrooms and curriculums have changed since you were at school, broadcaster and author Jenni Murray is joined by Guardian education columnist Laura McInerney and former education secretary David Blunkett.

Now I'm Grown Up is hosted by Jenni Murray, produced by Antonia Cundy and Theodora Louloudis, and brought to you by Now Teach. The credits for this episode were read by Livvie Podbur.
