Education has betrayed its promises to deliver upward social
mobility and a brighter future. Young people study harder but learn
less, running up a down-escalator of devalued qualifications to
become overqualified but underemployed, unable to move forward with
their lives. From primary to post-graduate schools - funny phonics
through endless testing to phoney apprenticeships and the world's
most costly university fees - Patrick Ainley explains how English
education is now driven by the economy and politics, 'dumbing down'
rather than 'wising up'. Addressed to teachers and students at all
levels of learning, it concludes by suggesting how schools,
colleges and universities can begin to contribute towards a more
meaningful and productive society.
