DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
François Truffaut France

His semi-autobiographical film 'The 400 Blows' is a poignant exploration of a troubled student's struggle against a rigid educational system and societal indifference.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His socially conscious films like 'Kes' deeply examine how educational systems fail working-class youth and perpetuate cycles of poverty and struggle.
