Welcome to the fifth reaction episode of the Class Divide podcast. In this episode Curtis James and Carlie Goldsmith discuss the pervasive theme of a lack of choice in life after school. They explore how limited educational support restricts opportunities and influences individuals' decisions. Drawing from her work at the Crew Club, Carlie speaks about the abundance of talent and potential individuals possess, however, the lack of choice and opportunity remains a significant barrier in fields like policy, politics, medicine, and law. Primary and secondary school choices play a critical role in shaping individuals' futures, affecting decisions regarding college, further education, and higher education opportunities. Carlie also emphasises the limited options available in alternative paths like apprenticeships. Throughout the episode, Curtis and Carlie emphasise the need for equal access to opportunities, advocating for a broader range of support in education. They stress the importance of providing support and resources to enable individuals to explore their full potential. Join them as they shed light on the impact of limited choices after school, challenge preconceived notions, and champion the vast abilities and potential within every individual.
