We have an education system, shaped over centuries, in which most
children rarely fulfil their potential. Decades of governmental
reforms; comparative studies; numerous inspectors' reports and a
blame culture targeting teachers, certain categories of parents and
their children have produced very little. Part One argues that the
key reason for this incapability is the universally accepted
concept of a 'curriculum' along with its correlating concepts of
'teaching' and 'organisation'. These form a powerful triad that is
the foundation of a system which is structurally incapable of
internal reform; unable to confront the complexities of modern
life. Part Two describes and analyses a practical alternative.
Rejecting the necessity for formal control, closeting in classes,
and a painting by numbers curriculum, the concepts of 'curriculum'
'teaching' and 'organisation' are redefined, focusing upon how a
powerful and liberating context in which educational activities may
take place.
