Improving childcare and early years education | RFTRW: S23E02
15 July 2024
What changes would benefit the early years education system? And what’s it like dealing with government and parliament to make funding and policy changes possible?
Dr Claire Crawford’s research focuses on childcare and education and is particularly interested in understanding inequalities and how policy can help reduce these gaps. She also has a strong track record of high-impact research, including giving evidence to select committees on education, social mobility, and diversity and inclusion issues.
In the podcast, Dr Laura Outhwaite finds out about the previous and current state of financial support for early years education, and what Dr Crawford thinks will happen in the area under a Labour government.
