'With the steamroller of New Labour's education policies flattening teachers, students and children, we need this book to stop the machine in its tracks' - Michael Rosen, Broadcaster and children's author
In an age of globalisation, climate change, famine and war, young people need to make sense of the world and they can work together to change it.
But capitalism has a problem with education. It needs workers who are clever enough to be profitable, but not wise enough to know what's really going on.
Our schools are dominated by testing, league tables, competition and increasing privatisation.
It doesn't have to be like this. We can learn from schools here and across the world that manage to provide meaningful learning.
This is a book for everyone who believes that 'Another World is possible' and that we need another kind of school.
