The Day Weekly Newsletter | 25 October
We all know oracy skills are critical for students’ future success. Recent findings from the Oracy Education Commission show oracy deserves the same emphasis as literacy and numeracy to help narrow the achievement gap.
This shift in education may take time—but your students can't wait.
The Day offers a practical solution for integrating oracy into your curriculum right now. Through engaging debates and thought-provoking content, we make it easy to weave oracy skills across every subject.
Empower every student to develop their voice, regardless of their background or ability.
Just a heads up, there will be no newsletter next week.?
A very happy Halloween and Diwali to all those celebrating!

Debate this!
At her testimony in court on Wednesday, Gisèle Pelicot described herself as a “destroyed woman”. But she has become a hero for countless women and survivors of sexual abuse across the world. Her catchphrase, “shame must change sides,” has become a mantra for campaigners across the world.
Will she change our world?
33% said yes ??Rights are always won in the courtroom. The issue of rape and sexual abuse needs to become visible for us to discuss how to stop this epidemic of often gendered violence. This trial has made it visible thanks to Gisèle waiving her anonymity.
67% thought no ??Unfortunately, the fact that we needed a case this shocking and disturbing in order to take the issue of rape seriously illustrates that it is a crime that is still often overlooked and underpunished, despite its huge prevalence.
