Images of Education
- Synopsis
- Rob Moore takes a personal view of the way the public image of education has changed over the past 40 years, from education as a solution to society’s problems to education as the problem itself. From post-war optimism, the 1970s saw the strike at William Tyndale School where governors tried to intervene because of progressive teaching methods, the Bennett report into progressive versus traditional teaching methods, and Prime Minister Callaghan’s Ruskin College speech. In an interview Lord Callaghan explains why he made the speech and the impact it has had. Moore suggest that education is used today as a political issue in a way that would have been unheard of in the past.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
