Description and Table of Contents

Description

This collection of essays focuses on the big issues in education. Many were embraced by Caroline Benn herself during her long and active life, such as the concept of inclusion, the campaign for comprehensive education, the need to fight for educational reform alongside social justice and equality, and a rejection of all attempts to pin harmful and outdated ability labels on children. Ultimately, this collection celebrates the life and work of Caroline Benn who died in November 2002. It has the full support of Tony Benn and he is keen to promote the book in any way he can.
