Reclaiming back our education... Through his bodies of work, Paulo Friere made headway in his development of educational practices. “Pedagogy of the Oppressed” contends that traditional teaching kept the poor powerless by treating them as passive, silent recipients of knowledge.

How can we expect students to aspire to prosper in higher education with the limited amount of role models we have representing us at an authoritative level at university?

Research has shown that only 7% of students attest that their university has discussed the BAME attainment gap with the student body. A policy has been introduced which will affect all A-Level and GCSE students, let's explore how the most vulnerable are disadvantaged by this.

I wouldn't have left school w/ some A*'s & completed my Eng Lit A-level in my 1st year @ sixth form, got accepted in to uni (so no 1st class) & probs not be doing my PhD, IF my awful predictions were anything to go by (thank God I called out their bias in essays too)!!!

Would appreciate any support on the awareness campaign I have started surrounding the use of predicted grades to dictate your future at HE, and how they disadvantage both BAME & the working class students! So please go follow, like and repost and let's make some noise on this!
