A conversation with Integrate Private Schools

"Is it not ridiculous that where you went to school has an impact on people 20, 30 years down the line?" As the gap in funding between state and private school pupils grows wider, the entrenchment of the private school system within British culture becomes ever incompatible with democracy. In this episode of the TANK podcast, editorial assistant Matteo Pini talks with Paul Turner of Integrate Private Schools, previously known as Abolish Eton. The pair discuss the movement's complicated relationship with the Labour Party and how private schools represent a continuation of the British colonial project.
