Privately Educated

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Presented by George Scott
Our purpose u to educate boys to take their place in the world with confidence. They meet boys from all kinds of different backgrounds: sons of rich men, sons of poor men. (Public school prospectus) More parents than ever are choosing the independent sector for their children's education, despite the continuing political debate about the future of these schools.
What. kind of education are they buying and is it better than the State system can offer? Do the independent schools exert, as the Newsom Report argued, a socially divisive influence? What should their future role be?
