Episode notes
We interrupt our current series on recruitment and retention to address a shocking and saddening recent event in education - the rascist and islamophobic reaction to the appoint of Sir Mufti Hamid Patel to Interim Chair of OFSTED.
I'm joined by my good friend, Sufian Sadiq, Director of Talent and Teaching School at Chiltern Learning Trust, to discuss the man himself, the reaction to his appointment, how it is felt by Muslims throughout education and what it says about the myth of meritocracy in British education.
Nothing Without Us is presented by Angie Browne from Being Luminary. It is edited and produced by Emily Crosby Media.
