It offers a coherent yet visionary way forward that will bring the joy back to teaching, strengthen democracy and above all, be fun. Written by educationalist James Pitt and economist Ken Webster, and with a foreword by Sir Anthony Seldon, it is aimed at concerned parents, frustrated teachers, home educators, and policy makers of all political persuasions. Inspired by radical thinkers such as Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Illich and Paulo Freire the authors place learners of all ages at the heart of education, and argue for a radical localisation of educational provision. The book provides a handle for seeing where things have gone wrong and how to build a hopeful future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ken Webster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0955983118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780955983115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Terrapreta Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.39d","brand":"Ken Webster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443746812159,"sku":"9780955983115","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b571f4c2-5b7c-4ef3-83ae-be0261bd5a55.jpg?v=1777207562","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/education-unbound-ken-webster-9780955983115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
