  2. (yet another look at UK education)

    Comps
    Archive on 4

    Financial Times columnist turned teacher Lucy Kellaway takes a personal journey through the education revolution launched fifty years ago to replace grammars and secondary moderns with comprehensives. The ambition was noble: the same opportunities for every child. But the story of Comps suggests that when lofty ideals collide with reality, things don’t always turn out as planned.

    Lucy visits two very different models of comp trying to reconcile the history and their local demands and priorities, and speaks to three of the most influential politicians responsible for shaping today's state secondary school system - Lords Baker, Blunkett and Gove. She also discovers the deep roots of the tensions and challenges facing today's comps in a journey through a rich archive that charts the evolution of the comprehensive system in the last fifty years.

  3. @Laplantgenetics Yes! A few weeks ago i turned on #BBCRadio4 and, by chance, there was a programme about what to do in a #Heatwave and what the #UK overall needs to do for #ClimateAdaption. Good of course but hearing BBC voices talking about this made it all so much more real; brought home that this really is it now. I found this atrangely upsetting and surreal, even after years of campaigning and asking for more media coverage.
