Selection

Description

Recent political developments have pushed selection to the forefront of the education debate. In this programme we investigate what kind of selection is taking place within the current British education system and why the issue of admissions continues to be the source of so much controversy and debate. We hear from key figures, such as former Education Secretary Estelle Morris, Schools Minister Jim Knight MP, and Chief Adjudicator for Schools Dr. Philip Hunter. Is selection an inherent part of British education culture and can it ever be ended?
