Summary Note "Progressive education has plunged British schools into a decades-long crisis, leaving generations of pupils illiterate and under-educated. It is based upon a romantic view of children as both innately good and natural learners, who should be freed from the guidance and direct instruction of the teacher. Teacher training, local authorities and school inspectors all signed up to this idealistic, but damaging, belief. Relevance, freedom, active learning, skills and self-esteem became the unquestionable pillars of this education orthodoxy. Rigour, hard work, knowledge, discipline and competition were deemed pejorative terms. If Britain is to have a world-class education system in the twenty-first century, abandoning the burden of bad ideas it as inherited from the twentieth is the surest route to success." - Back cover.
