How School Students Can Benefit From Hosting Podcasts

Join us for the latest Tes Scotland podcast as we speak to Scotland’s children’s commissioner, Bruce Adamson.

He tells us about this year of Covid being the hardest time of his professional life, why it was “hugely important” to get children back to school, and why August’s exams debacle was “unjust” and contravened human rights.

The children’s commissioner also recalls his own schooldays in New Zealand - where marching and shooting were compulsory - why Scotland should be proud of its education system, and how schools have provided an “amazing anchor point” during the coronavirus pandemic. You’ll also learn how decades of work can lead to a “beautiful” legal document.
