We Need to Talk About Education (Hardcover)

When we talk about education, it's easy to lose track of the human element: the stories behind the statistics; the people behind the stories. In this ground-breaking work, author Ben Faccini and film-maker Greg Villalobos have combined to give young people a voice, through interviews and workshops. The result is a unique picture, sometimes disturbing, often inspiring, of what young people want from education, what stands in their way, and the difference a teacher can make. It includes an introduction by Meryl Noronha, one of the Teach First teachers featured in the BBC3 documentary 'Tough Young Teachers'.
