Videos / 60 mins watch

Education Support and Beyond Equality partnered to provide a space for teachers and education staff where we explored the challenges of navigating misogynistic behaviours and attitudes in schools, particularly in the context of incel culture and misogynistic extremism.
The Netflix drama Adolescence continues to spark important conversations about how both girls and boys are negatively affected by the rise in extreme online views and violent content. It also highlighted the effect this has on those working in schools. And with teachers continuing to report that they are witnessing misogynistic behaviour from pupils first hand, support for educators is more important than ever.
With Sinéad Mc Brearty from Education Support and Jamie Bale from Beyond Equality, we had on the panel:
- Manny Botwe, headteacher and President of ASCL 24-25
- Kyra McHugh, classroom teacher
