Running ever faster down the wrong road by Frank Coffield

Running ever faster down the wrong road by Frank Coffield

Since 1988 the education system in England has been subjected to wave upon wave of radical change, and a more intensive model of reform is now being applied to all the public services.

Drawing on his own research and that of other specialists into the post-compulsory sector, Coffield concludes that, despite significant investments and some successes, the program of reform contains so many serious weaknesses that it is doing more harm than good. It should therefore now be fundamentally redesigned, and Coffield proposes the outlines of a new system. But first, he emphasizes, before any new program of reform is introduced, we must stop running faster and faster down the wrong road.

Coffield, Frank: - Frank Coffield retired in 2007 after 42 years in education, first as a teacher in a comprehensive and then in a boys' approved school in Scotland. He was also a lecturer in education at Jordanhill College of Education in Glasgow and Keele University in Staffordshire, and Professor of Education at the Universities of Durham, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, and the Institute of Education, University of London.
