Today, we welcome Professor David Egan to our podcast studio for an extended discussion about poverty in education in Wales. David has had a long and distinguished career in education, starting as a history teacher in the Welsh valleys in 1976 and ending up as a professor, so he has plenty to tell us about the education landscape.

In this episode, David tells us about the causes and consequences of child poverty in Wales, how education reform might have an impact, and how we can do the very best we can for the least advantaged pupils in our schools.
