The Covid-19 pandemic prompted a critical reevaluation of educational principles, particularly the flawed belief in innate ability as a measure of intelligence. Alice Bradbury explores how this meritocracy myth has perpetuated inequalities, especially highlighted during the crisis. Through her analysis of ability-grouping practices and recent advancements in datafication and neuroscience, she advocates for a reimagined approach to classifying and labeling children, aiming to reshape the education system in a more equitable way in the post-pandemic era.
