| Summary |
This forward-looking and visionary book presents a comprehensive view of the challenges facing society, the realities of work and leisure for children in the next century, and the implications of these analyses and predictions for schools today as they prepare children for the future. The authors consider the revolutions in the economy, technology, ecology, society, politics and values, and illustrate the impact that these fundamental changes will have on schooling and learning for the next century. Their conclusions raise critical questions about the concept of a 'good school', while also describing the learning culture, the new curriculum and the principles of responsible and effective schooling |
