Betraying A Generation: How Education Is Failing Young People
$20.40
For generations, we have been told that the way to move up in our society is through education. Stay in school, work hard, and you'll go far. But that's no longer true: today's young people study harder but learn less, ending up over-qualified yet underemployed. In this book, Patrick Ainley shows how education in England has been thoroughly compromised by being reoriented away from learning and toward the economy, with devastating results. Aimed at teachers and students at all levels, the book concludes by suggesting ways that schools, colleges, and universities can instead begin to contribute to a more meaningful and productive society.
