School of the Future?

Synopsis: Visits and explores the Lycee Pilote Innovant, a pilot, innovatory secondary school in Poitiers, France, which accommodates secondary as well as university students. The curriculum encompasses the Baccalaureat but also incorporates a high proportion of student-determined project work. Links with local industry are maintained to encourage students to think and work in ways which the traditionally static and centralised French education system has not previously allowed.

Notes: 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
