Provocative and engagingly written, Beyond Schooling offers a
challenging perspective on State schooling in England and the
unrelenting increase in centralisation from the late 1960s until
the present day. Exploring how the education of our children and
young people should be recaptured from the State as the country
moves into a precarious future, this book: argues that any
fundamental reconsideration of schooling has much to learn from an
anarchist analysis; introduces readers unfamiliar with anarchism to
the main themes of this political philosophy and practice and their
relationship to the political left and right; shows how an
anarchist perspective on education raises deep issues about the
community and the use of power; questions the notions of full-time
schooling and age-grading, alongside conventional conceptions of
the teaching profession and the potential educational role of
parents as work declines or disappears. In its original reflections
on the state of contemporary schooling and the paths to future
reform, Beyond Schooling is a must-read for anyone seeking a new
vision for the future of education and schooling.
