  • Summary

  • In this episode, we discuss with Dr. Tony Breslin how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on schools, education, young people, teachers, school leaders, and education systems. Tony’s recent work and research reflect on English schools yet can illuminate all education systems. Tony has written extensively on schools and education most recently in the critically acclaimed book ‘Lessons from Lockdown’ and in its sequel ‘Bubble Schools and the Long Road from Lockdown’. Dr. Tony Breslin talks about what motivated him to do his research and how he undertook it, the myths of ‘teacher bias’ and ‘grade inflation’ when the formal assessment/examination system was suspended in schools, and what needs to be done to enable students to catch up on ‘lost learning’ plus how the disparities in education have grown and how educational inequalities have played out.
