IT’S TIME TO ACT

Andrew Bills

Nigel Howard

For over two decades Andrew Bills and Nigel Howard have been working with young people on the edge of schooling, as teachers, school leaders and researchers.

In that time they have been active in advocating for and on behalf of students in poverty, and those students disengaging and detached from schooling.

Since 2016 they have worked together as activist scholars.

Over the years they have had a role in shaping the education debate and increasing the understanding in the University, schools and among policy makers of the way that disadvantaged young people are streamed out of education. They continue to work to establish collaborative projects to support young peoples involvement in democratic education
