The TES Podcast - World War I special




tesconnect show

Summary: Tune in to the first of our TES special podcast, in which we discuss the First World War ahead of Remembrance Day and the war's centenary next year. We hear from John Blake who penned this week's TES cover story, where he argues that the war is no longer taught as an historical event, but rather a moral tale. We speak to Dr Catriona Pennell from the University of Exeter who is conducting a nationwide survey of how the war is taught in secondary schools. And, finally, we caught up with historian, author and headmaster Dr Anthony Seldon who has written a new book on the disproportionate loss suffered by public school boys in the Great War.
