Summary
In today’s episode, James shares his personal sense of disappointment over the claims surrounding former Cambridge professor Jason Arday, before asking why the case has captured such intense attention — and who else may pay the price. But first, Alan Milburn, who is leading a review into Britain’s youth worklessness crisis, says primary schools in England should be required to identify children at risk of leaving education at 16 without a job. Can the system really predict a child’s future when they’re five years old? This episode was recorded on the 7th of August.
