Short description
In June 1976, the Radical Education Group (RED G) was formed during the "What to do about schools?" conference in Sydney, attended by teachers, students, and academics. Inspired by keynote speakers Samuel Bowles and Herb Gintis, RED G launched the "Radical Education Dossier" (RED) magazine to promote a socialist perspective on education within capitalism.

RED G aimed to build a radical movement in education, support educators, develop materials, and advocate for democratic control of schools. Over 30 years, RED's publications critiqued capitalism's impact on education and engaged in global discussions on socialism. Understanding historical efforts like RED is important in the context of current debates on socialism, global crises, and neoliberal education policies.
