Description

Over half a century of experience in education has taught John E. C. MacBeath that if we haven't learned from history, we are doomed to repeat it. In this book, he explores the deeper lying issues about schooling, learning, leadership, research, and the impact of globalisation on schools, teachers, children, and families.

MacBeath examines key questions through seven different lenses: policy making, research and scientific rigour, international agencies, academics conferring, New enlightenment, teaching and becoming a teacher, and going to school. Each lens offers a unique perspective on the education system, but together they shed light on the greater implications for policy and practice in the UK and beyond.

This book will be of value to teachers, school leaders, academics, and students on education programmes, offering a first-hand account of fifty years of experience working in education. It is an accessible and thought-provoking exploration of the complex issues facing the education system today.
