Martin Illingworth, Senior Lecturer in Education, Sheffield Hallam University, education consultant and author of Forget School
This book of historical context, present vexations and plans for a brighter future throws a light on the range of deep-seated barriers that need pulling down if children are to have a productive and enjoyable schooling. Brighouse and Waters offer both national decision-makers and school leaders a nuanced and insightful vantage point to look at the challenge of providing education in a post-pandemic world, and provide suggestions for planning ways forward.
About Our Schools is a must-read if you want change in our educational landscape.
