This week: Pupil Protest
Schoolchildren are bewailing their lot, challenging the system. A new militancy in the classroom is evident and many teachers feel that it may totally undermine their authority. Last month, over 2,000 schoolchildren truanted for a day of marching and protest in central London. They claim that their radical demands represent a challenge to the principles and structure of the entire educational set-up in this country.
But who are the playground activists and what are the reforms they seek? Who supports and helps them? And who is against them? Tonight Man Alive invites teachers, pupils and their supporters, as well as parents, to the studio to discuss, with Desmond Wilcox, what, if any, lasting influence the pupil protest movement may have on our schools.
