Tea Time Talks

In this episode, Josie and Ella talk about being a university student in the pandemic. We look at the illegal redundancies taking place at Liverpool university at the moment and what effect they will have. We talk about leaving secondary school and A-levels in the midst of a pandemic, and how the marketisation of education is only making these issues worse.
