Why Don't We Love Comprehensive Schools Like We Love the NHS?
Roberts, Carolyn
FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, v61 n2 p189-198 2019
In this article the author remarks on the difference in genesis between the National Health Service (NHS) and comprehensive schools. She argues that we need to develop a clear national understanding of the purpose of schools in society in order to make all-ability schools as popular as the NHS. Finally, she suggests a set of principles upon which a new public education could be built.
