Paul Vaughan investigates 'New Country'.

Over 60 years ago he rebelled against the barbarity of formal education and his own Scottish Calvinist background. His belief in freedom and self-government for children has had a profound effect on teaching throughout the world. Written and presented by Hugh Sykes
