The Education 2000 Trust is pleased to make this formal policy presentation to the Government’s Policy Unit on Education. This proposal is guided by our practical experience gained through working with nine community projects in the United Kingdom, one of which dates from 1986, and through research arising from the work of the 21st Century Learning Initiative, which is partly sponsored by Education 2000.
Most school reform in Britain, as in America, has had limited impact because it simply assumed that learning and schooling were synonymous; schools have falsely been seen as being independent of the larger socio-economic structures of which they are an intrinsic part.
