User-Friendly School, The

Synopsis: In the early 1980s Folkschools - Danish state comprehensives - were experiencing a poor reputation, brought about by industrial action coupled with a lack of communication between parents and schools. The Director of Education in Aarhus instigated an in-service training course to try and reverse this trend and improve the image of the school in the eyes of its users - parents and children. The course was produced in collaboration with commercial organisations, in particular the airline SAS. Outlines the background to the course and its aims and considers how relevant commercial concepts are in schools.

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
