Educational Readings
Special Edition - By Allan Alach
As an example of the increasingly wide connections being developed
in in the anti-GERM campaign, Phil Cullen recently received an email from
Professor Robin Alexander, Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge University,
Professor of Education Emeritus, University of Warwick, and Director of the
Cambridge Primary Review, which has been called;
“The most comprehensive
enquiry into English primary education for 40 years.’
The value of this review, and associated documents, in supporting
the battle for holistic education, worldwide, should not be underestimated.
Accordingly this Special Edition provides links to the Review itself, and also
to a number of supporting websites.
New Zealand readers will be interested to note that the former
Minister of Education, Anne Tolley, in correspondence with a Board of Trustees
chair in Auckland, made the claim that national standards were consistent with
the findings of this review. We can conclude from this that she hadn’t bothered
to read it.
This
set of documents is highly recommended.
