No one raises the question of what has gone wrong when the entire political project of a society is seemingly reduced to 'education, education, education'.\nThe aim of this lively and challenging book is to provide the stimulus for further thinking about key educational issues by exposing and explaining the assumptions behind this obsession. Over forty contributors, all experts in their fields, have written short, accessible, informed and lively articles for students, teachers and others involved in education. They address broad questions that are central to any understanding of what is really going on in the education system.\nTopics covered include: the new relationship of the state to education; the changed nature of schools; whether tea.
