Why Matt Wrack thinks education's at breaking point
Newly appointed union leader Matt Wrack has caused a stir — not just for stepping into teaching without ever having taught, but for calling out the real pressures in UK schools. In this episode of At the Chalk Face, Craig and Dave unpack Wrack's take on teacher workload, the creeping privatisation of education through multi-academy trusts, and his comments on Ofsted inspectors. From the “no off-switch” reality of teaching to CEO-level salaries in education, this candid discussion hits the issues many in the profession face daily.
If you’re a teacher, leader, or education watcher, you’ll find plenty to nod along with — and maybe a few points to debate.
