Education for Tomorrow
Education for Tomorrow first appeared in 1962 as a Penguin Special which quickly sold out. Some of the forecasts and concepts formulated by John Vaizey at that time have since become commonplaces of the educational world and found their way into government reports.
The importance of education, for the country's future, is now (almost to the surprise of the academic world) generally recognized. In this Pelican, which is a revised and expanded edition of the Penguin Special, John Vaizey surveys the present state of English education against the background of the new society now emerging. In a series of chapters he points to the many changes which will be needed - greater equality of opportunity, more teachers, increased Higher Education, modern teaching methods, a balanced partnership between ministry, local authority, teachers, and parents - if Britain is to hold her position in an age of science índ specialisation.
