HOW GREEN IS YOUR SCHOOL?
Next week Human Scale Education is holding a one-day workshop for teachers, students and parents called "How green is your school? - putting environmental sustainability into practice."
Libby Purves is joined by Fiona Carnie Project Officer of Human Scale Education and Maureen Laycock, Headteacher of Firth Park Community Arts College in Sheffield to discuss the role schools can play in protecting the future of the planet.
Judy Merry visits Kingsmead Primary School in Northwich, Cheshire and talks to Headteacher Catriona Stewart, year 4's class teacher Claire Tierney, and some of the children about their brand new environmentally friendly building.
Dominic Wood is Senior Lecturer in Department of Applied Social Sciences, at Canterbury Christ Church University College in Kent and a critic of green education. Libby Purves asks Dr Dominic Wood why he thinks that achieving environmental responsibility as an educational goal represents a retreat from education.
CAN WE TAKE THE POLITICS OUT OF EDUCATION?
Libby Purves debates if it is possible to have an education system free from political interference with Professor Tyrrell Burgess, Emeritus Professor in the Philosophy of Social Institutions, University of East London; Jennie Bristow commissioning editor of spiked-online.com and Dr Dennis Hayes, Head of the Centre for Studies in Education and Work at Canterbury Christ Church University College and author of the MacDonaldization of Further Education.
