The End of School As We Know It?
June 25, 2007 · Posted in Teaching 2.0
This blog entry about a radical education experiment in Wales caught my attention. Here’s a quote from Graham Atwell’s Wale’s-Wide Web blog:
“Knowsley Council in Merseyside, has abolished the use of the word school
to describe secondary education in the borough. It is taking the
dramatic step of closing all of its eleven existing secondary schools
by 2009. As part of a £150m government-backed rebuilding programme,
they will reopen as seven state-of-the-art, round-the-clock, learning
centres.”
Here is the link to the entire article that appeared in The Independent.
Other than these links, there doesn’t appear to be much information about this program. Does anyone have any additional information?
