Deep Social Justice
It is not an exaggeration to say that our current system of education is at breaking point. Our teachers and school leaders see this on a daily basis: the students being denied the support mechanisms they rely on, the continued impact of austerity, and a system that is no longer fit for purpose.
That’s why SSAT has decided to stand up and speak out, and to fight to put social justice at the heart of the education system.
As part of the campaign, a series of thought-provoking pamphlets have been published and are available to download below. These have practical resources, case studies from a variety of schools and organisations, and a series of reflective questions designed to help identify new approaches to achieving deep social justice.
