We're asking Government to conduct a full review of the companies who did not deliver adequate PPE and to recover the profits from those who benefitted.

Also, hearing about global education sector responses to Covid-19 reinforces how wrong we have gone about things in the UK. In Kenya, for example, there has been clear messaging about how long schools would be closed, avoiding anxiety for parents and students. #CSDS_Conference.

Today's #CSDS_Conference was v. insightful. Key take-aways include COVID-19 offering us the opportunity to design online education which is collaborative and demonstrates an ethics of care, and the importance of teachers/lecturers opening up on a human level.

Amazing attendance at @bbkinstitutes Decolonising the Academy Collective event. 200 attendees and counting! Great to see so many people wanting to affect change!

@Causeway_Edu It's so true that contextual offers do not go far enough. The highest-performing 10% of Free School Meal eligible pupils from state schools achieve BCC and above - way below a typical Russell Group contextual offer. #BISI2020

On the same day MPs blame critical race studies for poor educational outcomes of white working class boys, parliament votes against extending free school meals....for working class kids.

The wages of whiteness are supposed to be more subtle than this....

@shoryuramen I had a kit in my basket and your website crashed waaaa! Trying to get ramen at home kits is like trying to get Glastonbury tickets!

For all those who still can't understand, let's put it in the simplest terms....

“Not all streets are like Sesame Street. … What we are seeing is people saying 'enough is enough.' They want to end racism.”

So many reading lists & syllabi — this one is oriented for no academics and takes into consideration different levels of awareness about antiBlack racism and anti racism in general

Anyone feeling confused/dissatisfied by black squares on the TL today, I would recommend following+donating to the Black Cultural Archive. @bcaheritage

[The Black Curriculum @CurriculumBlack]

1/4 The Black Curriculum, like the entire world has watched the horrific events of the last few weeks. These, alongside the stark socio-economic inequalities exposed by Covid19 that have impacted Black people across the UK, have moved us to amplify our existing campaign #TBH365.
