Melissa Benn at Bath LitFest

On the past and present of British education

School Wars traces the history of the comprehensive system based on the progressive ideal of quality education for all. Leading polemicist Melissa Benn tells the story from its establishment in the 1960s to the sustained attack over the past decades. As she does so, she lays out a refreshing, alternative analysis of current problems in our education system with a clear explanation of why some schools struggle and others succeed. Provocative and essential.
