Items related to Children of the Future
This account attempts to answer the question of what lies ahead for Britain's children. The author looks at the government's proposals to change the education system and their implications, and goes on to suggest an alternative way forward. Outlining the history of British education as well as the current crisis, she attempts to tackle the important questions of why certain children fail and what should be done about it. Drawing on her own experience as well as up-to-date information and research, she argues for quality as well as equality, and for a well-managed, properly-monitored education which will launch children into the future as young Europeans in a technological age. Frances Morrell was deputy leader, then leader of the Inner London Education Authority from 1981-1987. Whilst working there she commissioned independent enquiries into primary, secondary and special schools, reformed the inspectorate, developed a quality of education programme, pioneered the first children's ombudsman and increased the decision-making power of parents. She has also worked as a policy adviser in central government and is co-author of "Manifesto - a radical strategy for Britain's future". The book is intended to be of value to parents, teachers and all concerned with the current debate about the future of our schools.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Message to previous owner signed by the author to title page. Britain's schools are in the throes of revolutionary change. Why has this happened? What does it mean? Is there a better way? In a vivid, penetrating analysis Frances Morrell untangles the economics, ideas and identifies the tasks that lie aheard. Packed with hard facts and powerful arguments, this is the first and only book to counter the new orthodoxy effectively, setting education in the context of a bitter struggle at the heart of the state itself. This book is essential reading, not just for parents, teachers and policy makers but for all who care about the children of today - and the children of tomorrow. 167 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
