Join Hanif Khan & Amaar Ahmad for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Flagging Identities’ and ‘Pressure on Schools’ Flagging Identities Do you feel proud to fly the Union flag in Britain during the Olympics? Or does it make you feel uncomfortable to see rows of St George’s crosses lining the streets of Birmingham? Are these flags a symbol of unity and patriotism or are they being hijacked for political purposes by those who wish to divide us? These are some of the questions we would like to discuss as we look into how flags reflect our national identity. Join us between 4 and 5 as we go on to consider the motivational pull of flags. Pressure on Schools As classrooms grow fuller and teacher shortages rise, we ask: are our school buckling under pressure? The show will explore how increasing demands, limited resources, and policy shifts have pushed educators to the edge. We’ll reflect on the emotional, physical, and professional toll this burden takes, and what this means for the future of education in the UK Guests: Orla Muldoon - Professor of Psychology at the University of LImerick Malcolm Farrow OBE - President of the Flag Institute Professor John Denham - Director of the Centre of English Identity, University of Southampton Jake Puddle - Director of Research at British Future Mufleha Saleem - secondary teacher Manahil Khalid - Secondary School Mathematics Teacher in Liverpool.
