via theguardian.comConcerns about Neil Foden’s behaviour were raised years ago. We need to understand how such abuse is enabledThere was a moment during the trial of my former headteacher that broke my heart when I read about it.

A generation of students is being ripped off – and our blood should be boiling | Zoe Williams
via theguardian.comPoliticians talk about tuition fees as if the students were somehow getting a good deal. In reality, they’re being shockingly exploitedWhether or not universities are at risk of going bust is often talked about like a second-order problem. Sure, it’s sad and all, but is it as serious as a local authority going bankrupt? Is anyone actually going to die if non-Russell Group universities can no longer afford to run humanities degrees?

Scrap the VAT tax on private schools, Labour. Just let low-income kids attend instead | Mike Harris
via theguardian.comFears of a future tax rise have already increased fees and lowered intake. Use the money for bursaries and everyone winsLabour may be gaining a reputation for policy shyness, but one of its ideas is already having an impact.

Education’s deepest crisis is being ignored by Westminster – and even harsher cuts are on the way | John Harris
via theguardian.comAs politicians fuss over sex education, a desperate and worsening void in special needs provision is leaving families with nowhere to turnAs an illustration of the gap between high politics and everyday reality, last week’s news stories about education policy were grimly perfect. The government was making a lot of noise about new restrictions on sex education, many of which seemed to answer entirely confected fears. On his visit to Essex, Keir Starmer launched his weirdly titled “fir -

Of course faith has a place in our society
via theguardian.comKeir Hardie and many others were inspired by their religionI’m often puzzled by the antagonism that so many on the left express towards religion (“Faith groups want more say in secular Britain.
