Creating a new generation of Oxfamistas seems to be far more important than educating a generation properly.

Also the amin focus of several of the 'experts' is that the UNDGs are about 'us' forcing Southern governments to look after their people properly. I have highlighted this to Oxfam Education and they have confirmed that this does not worry them. Are you happy to be part of a comapign that is aimed at making UK kids believe the experts are all from the North and that the problems are all in the South? Hello Duncan,

You are the first talking head in the Getting Critical ‘experts’ opinions on the UNDGs for the Shape the Future campaign run by Oxfam for UK kids. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/education/resources/getting-critical

Are you happy to be part of a comapign that is aimed at making UK kids believe the experts are all from the North and that the problems are all in the South?
