Curriculum, self-promotion & edupolitics: The Late Late Show with Ed Finch & Toby P-C

Ed and Toby struggled to be their usual bouncy, irreverent selves against the backdrop of government and economic chaos but they managed two cracking songs, some brief chat about Manchester and music.  Big (costly) marketing statements (natty buildings) at universities and rich private schools; some respectful dissemination of brand management on Twitter and further discussion about over packed curricula, children not remembering stuff for very long and some discussion about realtive importance of history and science in school and the approach to the teaching of history and science, in comparison with Spain.  Back in 2 weeks.
