Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, formal schooling
is frequently following rather than leading. The impression is
given by central government that the education system serves as a
'thermostat' restoring society's settings in areas such as
productivity, citizenship, health, sexual mores and behaviour.
Educational reform over the last twenty years has clarified an
existing educational process, reformatted the financial management
of schools and resuscitated the inspection system. It has not,
however, laid the foundations of a world-class future responsive
educational system. Shaping a New Educational Landscape brings
together writers considering a wide range of possibilities for
future development in education and society from different
perspectives. Exploring alternative scenarios and strategies, they
are not engaged in making accurate predictions but in unsettling
present thinking and stimulating discussion. Together they form a
fascinating contribution to the growing debate about how we might
generate an educational process that will sponsor new economic
paradigms and create a bold participative society on the new global
stage. Against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, formal
