AL Kennedy: The Worth of Education

BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, AL Kennedy: The Worth of Education

AL Kennedy on the drive to make money out of education.

AL Kennedy argues that the drive to assess education's value in purely monetary terms risks destroying the very essence of learning.

"A school's core strength is that it's a school" writes AL Kennedy. She argues that the "monetisation" of learning - where its value is assessed in purely monetary terms - risks destroying the very essence of learning. She says we need to rethink this "quiet mess" before it's too late.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
