Re-examining Success. David Hughes J.

systems of formal state education are incredibly wasteful of talent. The ‘industrial process’ of education is a quality control process designed to weed out any learners who do not conform to expectations at the end of production batches – the process wastes human potential we can ill afford to lose. Robinson argues for a system that is more collaborative, more relevant and more adaptive to rapidly changing circumstances.

      Robinson’s lament against the current state of education, and what is to be done about it, reflects the key issue of this book.
