This is part of a series of monthly events on radical education. Mainstream schools are increasingly just not an option for many children. The landscape of alternative education is vast. Places at special schools are expensive and hard to come by. In the meantime, 58,000 children in England with nowhere else to go are placed into Alternative Provision (AP), a number that is increasing year on year.
Whilst APs can serve as a necessary safety net for some, class, race and cultural biases around behaviour and diagnoses determine where children can attend. With the increasing privatisation of education finances and public spaces, who are the parties with capital interests in the expansion of APs and how are they profiting from the exclusion of society's most vulnerable children?

Bristol Transformed runs an annual festival of politics, arts and culture in April, and events every Tuesday evening throughout the rest of the year. See all our events here: https://hdfst.uk/bristol-transformed
We are a grassroots, volunteer-run, socialist education group. Bringing together activists, trade unionists, and everyone who wants to learn, we’re creating the space to discuss the most important issues facing us, equipping us with the skills and knowledge to transform Bristol and the world.
Bristol Transformed is run by dozens of local people. Without new people coming in every year, we wouldn't be able to maintain the same standard of political education events that you enjoy. If you'd be interested in joining us, sign up as a BT volunteer today and we'll be in touch! https://cloud.seatable.io/dtable/forms/d3a761c9-4c79-4b10-b38e-50bbad501bcc/
