Can school make up for what's lacking at home?
Today's episode focuses on early years and primary education. Can schools and nurseries make up for what's lacking at home? Or is that too much to ask of teachers? With Amol Rajan.
Today's Rethink is looking at early years and primary education. With cuts in child services, are primary schools and early years providers becoming ersatz parents as well as educators? Providing everything from meals to setting boundaries in a space where children can be their very best?
Amol Rajan and guests discuss whether educators can really make up for what's missing in the home?
