The Gauteng Education Department says it is confident about its position regarding today's High Court challenge by the school governing body (SGB) of Pretoria High School for Girls. The SGB is taking legal action against the department, demanding the release of the full report on the racism probe and a halt to any actions based on the report's findings. The probe was launched in response to allegations of racism, including a "whites-only" WhatsApp group where racist comments about black learners were shared. Twelve students were initially suspended in July this year, and the principal was also suspended for allegedly failing to address the issue when it was brought to her attention in 2023.

Is there a woke agenda in schools? And if so, how is it undermining education in South Africa and why should you be worried? Attorney and essayist Richard Wilkinson is fighting hard against the anti-woke school capture he sees playing out in our local landscape. ”School Capture" refers to the woke takeover of South African schools and universities, specifically the growing and toxic influence of Critical Race Theory and Gender Ideology on all aspects of education. This edition of The Burning Platform delves into this topic and unpacks how all that glitters might not always be gold. The Burning Platform

On this week's Economic Update, Professor Richard Wolff discusses Kate Pickett's and Richard Wilkinson's best-selling study in the book "The Spirit Level" (2009), showing how economic inequality correlates with most of the major social problems of our time.  We will juxtapose their latest paper "The Spirit Level at 15: The Enduring Impact of Inequality" Which details how economic inequality has only gotten worse since the past fifteen years, despite government laws and programs aimed to "reduce" inequality.  Wilkinson and Pickett show how inequality leads to severe social ills, divisions, and disintegration. What we need is to face that it is capitalism that generates the inequality that generates the hostilities and social tensions intruding upon and damaging our lives."

Ondertitel: Why greater Equality Makes Society Stronger, een van de boeken van Richard Wilkinson en Kate Pickett. Een interessant boek dat voor mij een bevestiging was dat ik aan de juiste missie werk, sociale en ecologische ongelijkheid terugdringen. Daarnaast geeft het boek een idee hoe ik hiermee verder kan, zeker richting ondernemers. Wat ik niet had gezien is de grote impact van sociale ongelijkheid en hoeveel problemen zouden oplossen als we dit verbeteren. Het boek bestaat uit 3 delen: Material success, social failure The cost of inequality A better Society Material success, social failure The End of an era Met grafieken en onderzoeken laten ze zien dat boven een bepaald punt het welzijn niet verder groeit als de welvaart wel verder groeit. Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis zijn de armen dikker dan de rijken. Poverty or inequality? Het grootste probleem is niet zo zeer het verschil in rijkdom tussen de landen, maar veel meer het verschil in een land. Wil je de sociale omgeving en de kwaliteit van leven voor iedereen verbeteren, dan moet je de ongelijkheid verminderen. How inequality gets under the skin angst, stress en ongeluk neemt toe in de rijke landen. De overgang van een hechte gemeenschap naar een massa maatschappij.  The cost of inequality Community life and social relations Mental health and drug use Physical health and life expectancy Obesity: wider income gaps, wider waists Educational performance Teenage births: recycling deprivation Violance: gaining respect Imprisonment and punishment Social mobility: unequal opportunities A better Society Dysfunctional societies Our social inheritance Equality and sustainability Een meer gelijke gemeenschap helpt ons in samenwerken aan de grote transities die op ons afkomen. Building the future Het interessante hoofdstuk over hoe we een betere toekomst bouwen. Het belangrijks is dat we medewerkers eigenaar maken van het bedrijf en medezeggenschap geven. Door deze contructie zal er veel minder ongelijkheid in inkomen ontstaan, bij de verkopo van het bedrijf profiteer iedereen. Interessant inzicht is dat wanneer je een bedrijf tegenwoordig verkopt het vooral gaat over de mensen die er werken. Je handelt dus in mensen. Vanaf p 252 vind je alternatieven voor groote corporaties die de problemen veroorzaken. Ideen om te laten zien dat het mogeljik is. Op p 260 zes voordelen van meer gelijke gemeenschap en medewerkers eigenaarschap. Het is een interessant boek, en gaf me nieuwe inzichten en connecties met ongelijkheid die ik nog niet kende. Het boek leest niet makkelijk weg, maar heeft veel verwijzingen voor verdieping. Kijk vooral de TED talk van Wilkinson voor een eerste indruk. Opvallende lessen uit het boek voor mij: Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis zijn de armen dikker dan de rijken. Het grootste probleem zijn de verschillen in rijkdom binnen een land. Wil je de sociale omgeving en de kwaliteit van iedereen verbeteren, dan moet je de ongelijkheid verminderen. Hoe groter de ongelijkheid is, hoe meer de mensen de vraag stellen 'ligt het aan mij, dat ik niet succesvol ben?' In landen waar meer gelijkheid is daar hebben mensen meer het gevoel dat ze anderen kunnen vertrouwen. Portugal lijkt een negatieve uitschieter in vergelijking met Spanje en Italië. We kunnen aan allerlei symptomen werken, zoals gratis ontbijt op school, maar het is beter voor iedereen om te werken aan de oorzaak en dat is ongelijkheid terugdringen. Dit is goed voor arm én rijk. Als je vandaag als eigenaar je bedrijf verkoopt, dan verkoop je vooral de mensen die er werken, een soort moderne slavenhandel. We moeten niet naar meer corporates, maar naar meer coöperaties, waar medewerkers (mede)eigenaar zijn, voor meer gelijkheid. Laten we meer het Scandinavische model nastreven, in plaats van het Amerikaanse model. Bronnen die we genoemd hebben Robert B.

In our season finale, we're diving deep into the myths surrounding neoliberalism with leading economists Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson - two of the brightest minds in the field. Brace yourself for a compelling discussion on how inequality takes a toll on physical health, relationships, and emotions. Chronic stress, accelerated ageing, increased rates of bullying and homicide, and even lower life expectancy all intertwine with the disparity. Pickett and Wilkinson will also look at circular and regenerative economic models, shifting away from relentless growth-focused mindsets. From promoting well-being and experimenting with basic income pilots to envisioning a four-day working week, we'll explore groundbreaking research that suggests sustainable economies can provide a decent standard of living for all. Kate Pickett is a Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York, while Richard Wilkinson is Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham Medical School, Honorary Professor at UCL, and a Visiting Professor at the University of York. Together they wrote The Spirit Level: Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better - a book that examines the effects of the inequality that resulted from free markets and limited government intervention in the economy.This episode of SystemShift comes from Greenpeace Nordic and is hosted by Greenpeace Sweden campaigner, Carl Schlyter, and produced by Alexia Fridén, with additional support from Ariadna Rodrigo, Juliana Costa, Christian Aslund and Attila Kulcsár.

Marianne and Eric chat with Professor Richard Wilkinson, Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology at the University of Nottingham. Richard is author most recently of the book The Inner Level, and co-founder of The Equality Trust. In this episode, Richard shares his research on the detrimental and wide-ranging psychological effects of income inequality. He discusses how inequality impoverishes everyone's health, trust, and psychological well-being, even for those "winning" in the income distribution. Richard argues that while positive psychology needs to better understand societal predictors of when people flourish, the field already has discovered many insights that are plainly ignored by policy makers and other shapers of society. Finally, he shares how income inequality is visible and impactful on an everyday basis, and why a more equal society would also do a better job at fighting climate change.The Spirit Level: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/395860/the-spirit-level-new-edition-by-richard-wilkinsonkate-pickett/9780241954294 The Inner Level: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/567749/the-inner-level-by-richard-wilkinson-and-kate-pickett/More information: www.inequality.org

South Africa's three-tiered system of government makes provision for nine provinces, each with its own legislature and executive. But are the provinces sufficiently empowered and how is the current constitutional structure enabling or constraining provincial administrations? Do they represent the interests of citizens? In this episode of the 'Solutions With David Ansara' podcast, David is joined by Richard Wilkinson, an attorney with a special interest in provincial powers in South Africa. David and Richard explore the benefits of a federalism, and why devolution of power is more effective than centralisation.

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks Why is the incidence of mental illness in the UK twice that in Germany? Why are Americans three times more likely than the Dutch to develop gambling problems? Why is child well-being so much worse in New Zealand than Japan? The answer to all of these questions, hinges on inequality. This talk will explore how inequality affects us individually, how it alters how we think, feel and behave. You'll learn about the overwhelming evidence showing that material inequalities have powerful psychological effects: when the gap between rich and poor increases, so does the tendency to define and value ourselves and others in terms of superiority and inferiority. The speakers will then go on to demonstrate that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity generate much higher levels of well-being, and lay out a path towards making them a reality. Kate Pickett is Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Health Sciences at the University of York and leads the Public Health and Society research group. She is the co-author of The Spirit Level and The Inner Level, with Richard Wilkinson, and her work addresses the social determinants of health and well-being. She was a National Institute for Health Research Career Scientist from 2007-2012, is a Fellow of the RSA and a Fellow of the UK Faculty of Public Health.
