This year’s party conferences could be the last big gatherings before the next General Election, so it was the perfect opportunity for the Conservative Party and Labour Party to set out their respective plans.
That said, the challenges facing the two parties are very different. Can the Conservative Party convince voters that they are still the right people to oversee the education system after 13 years in power? And can the Labour Party convince voters that their ideas would improve the system that the Conservatives have overseen for so long?
To talk us through the education policy announcements from the last couple of weeks, we have brought together two education experts who have plenty of experience of working alongside senior politicians in both main parties.
My first guest is David Thomas, who was until recently an advisor at the Department for Education and is now the chief executive of Mathematics Education for Social Mobility and Excellence, and my second guest is Joe Moore, an Associate Director at Hanbury Strategy and a former Labour Party advisor.
