...And yet something is missing from the debate: a call for a fully-comprehensive education service which is democratic and life-enhancing.
The FORUM Board has compiled this ebook in order to raise that call.

There is still time to get your submission in for our exciting Summer issue - perhaps a letter to the education secretary (or their successor...) about what you would want to see change / done differently in education going forward?

[FORUM: for comprehensive education @FORUM_journal]

Call for papers! To chime with our latest e-book, Renewing public education: proposals for an inclusive, democratic and joyful system, we invite articles which would bolster such a system. What needs saying to the Education Secretary, or their successor? https://t.co/Syrc3JWZhM

Equally, Patrick Yarker's blog, 'Comprehensive education means unlearning ‘ability’ and all its works' is important in reminding us of the flimsy (non-existent?) ideology on which selective education systems are based. https://t.co/CtlXR2UuCx

A fascinating debate - if you're interested in exploring the issues discussed further, you will find rich discussion and debate across the articles in Forum. https://t.co/cPt3EU16qs

[Melissa Benn @Melissa_Benn]

It was an enjoyable and interesting discussion, and @DanielKebedeNEU made strong points about continuing inequality in our system - through existence of the 11 plus and private education. He has a powerful and optimistic vision for high quality comprehensive education.
