A fearless challenge to the education system—and a hopeful vision for what comes next.
The education system is broken—but it doesn't have to stay that way.
In What the F**k Is Going On in Education in England?, Fabienne Vailes and Dr Natalie Rothwell-Warn explore how decades of reform have shifted education towards targets, accountability and economic priorities while leaving children's wellbeing behind.
Drawing on the experiences of teachers, school leaders, parents and young people, the book uncovers the human cost of the current system before offering a hopeful call to create schools where children flourish rather than simply perform.
"Powerful, timely and impossible to ignore. Every parent, teacher and policymaker should read it."
"This, then, is a book that not only asks profoundly important questions, but also shows possible ways to liberate educators and educated alike from the preprogramming that is setting humanity on course for grave psychological, social and environmental harm. It deserves to be read and carefully thought about both widely and deeply."
