There are two key questions at the heart of the ongoing debate
about education and training for all young people, irrespective of
background, ability or attainment:
- What counts as an educated 19 year old today?
- Are the models of education we have inherited from the past
sufficient to meet the needs of all young people, as well as the
social and economic needs of the wider community?
Education for All addresses these questions in the light of
evidence collected over five years by the Nuffield Review of 14-19
Education and Training: the most rigorous investigation of every
aspect of this key educational phase for decades. Written by the
co-directors of the Nuffield Review, Education for All provides a
critical, comprehensive and thoroughly readable overview of 14-19
education and training and makes suggestions for the kind of
education and training that should be provided over the coming
decade and beyond.
The authors acknowledge that much has been achieved by the
respective governments massive investment in resources; closer
collaboration between schools, colleges, training providers,
voluntary agencies and employers; recognition and promotion of a
wider range of qualifications. They are also optimistic about the
good things that are going on in many secondary classrooms enormous
amounts of creativity; courageous efforts to meet problems; a deep
concern and caring for many young people otherwise deprived of hope
and opportunity. But they argue for a radical reshaping of the
future in the light of a broader vision of education a greater
respect for more practical and active learning; a system of
assessment which supports rather than impoverishes learning;
respect for the professional expertise of the teacher; a more
unified system of qualifications ensuring progression into higher
education and employment; the creation of strongly collaborative
and local learning systems; and a more reflective and participative
approach to policy.
Education for All should be read by everyone working in or with
an interest in secondary-level education in England and Wales and
beyond.
