- More about The Free School
The Free School, published in 1973, examines the roots of the educational malaise and proposes solutions to free education from its rigid and hierarchical organization. It places schooling within its larger social context and offers valuable accounts of new educational ideas being tried out in various places.
Format: Hardback
Length: 218 pages

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
First published in 1973, The Free School delves into the origins of the educational crisis, encompassing sociological, historical, and psychological factors, and examines potential solutions and ongoing efforts to liberate education from its rigid and hierarchical nineteenth-century structure. By contextualizing schooling within its broader social framework, the author sheds light on numerous underlying reasons behind the troubled state of our secondary schools. It is believed that our mistake has been to conflate education, in its truest sense, with schooling. In conclusion, the author offers a valuable account of innovative educational ideas being tested in various locations such as Countesthorpe, Wyndham, the Parkway Program in Philadelphia, and the Open University. This book is an essential read for schoolteachers and education enthusiasts alike.
