Produktbeschreibung

"The Right to Learn" raises questions about the future of the learning society. It suggests that the rights of children and parents are not being addressed by the UK Government's concentration on a highly centralized education system. The author discusses some alternative solutions to the problems he sees occurring in the UK, drawing on some examples from overseas and suggesting possible ways forward.
