A series of four programmes in which Harry Ree, a former headmaster and Professor of Education at York University, offers a personal survey of the present-day educational scene.

Changes in the pattern of education have probably been more radical, and more controversial, at the secondary level than at any other. The end of the division between the Grammar School and the Secondary Modern, the decision to raise the school-leaving age, and the reluctance of many teenagers to accept old loyalties and authority, have presented a formidable challenge to the schools. Tonight's programme examines some of the ways in which they are responding.
