From Exam Factories to Communities of Discovery: The Democratic Route

by Frank Coffield, Bill Williamson

This short book has been written for the benefit of educators who currently despair of a continuation of the policies which inform the approach of both the previous and the new coalition government of the UK. It argues for a major change both in the daily practice of education and in the curriculum in order to deal with such threats to the collective well-being as environmental damage; intensified global competition; corrosive social inequalities in and between nations in the world; and the need for a new, just and sustainable economic model.
