Description

Book Synopsis: There are few subjects these days that cause parents more stress than the education of their children.In his new book, Peter Hitchens describes the misjudgements made by politicians over the years that have led to the increase of class distinction and privilege in our education system. This is, of course, the opposite of what was intended, especially by former Minister of Education Shirley Williams and Margaret Thatcher, her successor in that role, who closed down many more Grammar Schools than Williams. Given that the cost of private secondary education is now in the region of £50,000 a year and the cream of Comprehensive Schools are now oversubscribed (William Ellis, Camden School for Girls, The Oratory, Cardinal Vaughan), parents are spending thousands on private tutoring and fee-paying prep schools in order to get their children into these academically excellent schools. Meanwhile, hypocritical Labour politicians like Diane Abbott send their children to expensive private day schools. So, what alternatives – if any – are there? Peter Hitchens argues that in trying to bring about an educational system which is egalitarian, the politicians have created a system which is the exact opposite. And what's more, it is a system riddled with anomalies - Sixth Form Colleges select pupils on ability at the age of 15, which rules out any child who does not have major educational backing from home (heavy involvement by working parents or private tutors, for example) and academies also are selective, though they pretend not to be. This is an in-depth look at the British education system and what will happen if things don't change radically.

Are you tired of the increasing class distinction and privilege in the British education system? Look no further than "A Revolution Betrayed: How Egalitarians Wrecked the British Education System" by Peter Hitchens. In this eye-opening book, Hitchens exposes the misjudgements made by politicians over the years that have led to this disastrous state of affairs. With the cost of private education skyrocketing and top comprehensive schools becoming oversubscribed, parents are left with limited options. But fear not, Hitchens offers a fresh perspective on the alternatives.

Have you ever wondered why some children have a better chance at excelling academically? Sixth Form Colleges, for instance, select pupils based on ability at the tender age of 15, effectively ruling out those without extensive educational support. And let's not forget academies, which claim to be non-selective but have their own hidden criteria. Hitchens delves deep into these anomalies, shedding light on the systemic flaws that perpetuate inequality.
