A special edition of the programme explores how to close the education disadvantage gap in the UK. The system fails many young people, with the gap in outcomes between richest and poorest deeply entrenched and even widening in certain regions. Joining us to explain how they’re addressing the challenge, and why collaboration is critical in driving enduring change, are five very special guests: Steve Rotheram, metro mayor of the Liverpool City Region; Sarah Payne, UK head of social impact and philanthropy at UBS; Graeme Duncan, CEO of Right to Succeed; Justine Molyneaux, CEO of Involve Northwest; and Steve Morgan, founder of housebuilder Redrow, philanthropist and chair of his eponymous foundation.
