Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the state of secondary education in England and asserts that extensive reform is both imperative and feasible. The author, a prominent figure in secondary education, maintains that without a national system, England's youth and, as a result, the nation as a whole, will continue to be at a disadvantage. The author argues that more needs to be done to elevate the status of the teaching profession and make it more attractive to competent individuals, thus establishing a national service of secondary teachers. The author proposes that the state take the lead in the financial support of education by providing funds for teachers' salaries and pensions. The author emphasizes the importance of local authorities providing the physical infrastructure for schools while working in concert with the state to ensure a coherent and comprehensive system. Ultimately, the author believes that by investing in secondary education, England can unlock the intellectual and creative potential of its people and secure its place as a leading nation.
