Why wellbeing needs to underpin attainment in the education system

In this episode, Thrive’s Managing Director, Anna Smee, considers the recent Times Education Commission’s report which calls for a ‘radical reset’ of our education system. Anna, who was previously CEO of the Youth Futures Foundation before joining Thrive earlier this year, considers the proposals the report makes around wellbeing – including a shift in emphasis towards prevention rather than cure and that teachers should be better-supported with annual training around mental health.
