The articles listed below have been written by a range of individuals from different organisations and ideological persuasions. In one way or another they address the crisis in the education system and how this crisis intersects with the Covid-19 pandemic. These articles do not necessarily represent the official or collective views of the CECC, but are made available here in the spirit of promoting an understanding of the education crisis in the context of Covid-19 and the struggles that have and continue to unfold as the working class defends itself against neoliberalism and “gutter education” in the context of Covid-19.
