Description
If the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, it is equally true that Britain's destiny is today being hammered out in the classrooms of secondary schools all over the country. Recent controversies have raised many questions about the direction which is being taken by secondary education. Is it correctly orientated for the needs of modern society or does it tend to 'level downwards'? Should more encouragement be given to pupils who are above average intelligence? Did we deliberately train an élite?
The two authors of this constructive and absorbing book have had many years' experience as teachers. After exposing some of the serious inadequacies of the present curriculum in secondary schools, they go on to analyse the basic educational needs of the intelligent child. They then outline an alternative curriculum which would both meet these needs and be practicable within the average secondary school. In addition, they discuss fully the sixth-form syllabus, the examination system, university selection, and the choice, training, and remuneration of teachers.
