Education Debate with Rachel Wolf, Director, New Schools Network, and Fiona Millar, Co-Founder, Local Schools Network

Zeinab Badawi speaks to Rachel Wolf, whose New Schools Network backs Free Schools, and Fiona Millar, whose Local Schools Network campaigns to involve parents in state schools.

Zeinab Badawi speaks to Rachel Wolf from the New Schools Network, which backs Free Schools, and Fiona Millar, co-founder of the Local Schools Network, which campaigns for parental involvement in state schools.
