Event Details
One hour Teams meeting with time for questions and answers where Professor Tomlinson will be discussing recent research around society and education.
What does a society that educates all its young people rather than simply schooling them look like? This paper addresses this by discussing some of the positive and negative developments in schooling, especially during the 20th century. Positives include decisions made halfway through this century to school almost all children from age 5 to 15 (later to 16), and after another 25 years to decide that all children were ‘educable,’ whilst negatives in schooling a mass population of some 8 million children and young people are manifold.
