Both Patients and Staff in Gaza Hospitals Experiencing Starvation, Doctor Says

Sounds like Teach First is getting the Frontline treatment: rebranding, more oversight, emphasis on diversity... In this previous article @robin2399.bsky.social and I argued that these changes were a tacit admission that Frontline had failed. Same can now be said of Teach First.
