Freddie Whittaker interviews Justine Greening and Damian Hinds

Two politicians who led the Department for Education during a time of Brexit battles and school cuts campaigns reflect on their time in office.

Justine Greening and Damian Hinds ran the Department for Education between 2016 and 2019 under Theresa May’s government. In this podcast episode, they speak to Schools Week deputy and political editor Freddie Whittaker about the highs and lows of their time in office during immense “political flux”, and their battles to propel education up the agenda when politicians were so easily distracted by Brexit.
