14-18 New Vision For Secondary Education

Leading educational authorities offer a vision for the future of secondary education which will take account of young people's emerging interests, talents and ambitions. This book sets out Kenneth Baker's vision for secondary education. From 2015, all young people will be legally required to stay in education until they are 18, Lord Baker sees this as an historic opportunity to re-think the aims and structure of English education. Here he builds a compelling case for reform, with contributions from a range of educationalists who draw on their direct experience, the history of English education and practice elsewhere in the world.
