This blog entry<\/a> about a radical education experiment in Wales caught my attention. Here’s a quote from Graham Atwell’s Wale’s-Wide Web blog:<\/p>\n

“Knowsley Council in Merseyside, has abolished the use of the word school
\nto describe secondary education in the borough. It is taking the
\ndramatic step of closing all of its eleven existing secondary schools
\nby 2009. As part of a \u00a3150m government-backed rebuilding programme,
\nthey will reopen as seven state-of-the-art, round-the-clock, learning
\ncentres.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is the link to the entire article<\/a> that appeared in The Independent.<\/p>\n

Other than these links, there doesn’t appear to be much information about this program. Does anyone have any additional information?<\/p>\n
