Five films offering a personal view of issues in secondary schooling.

Professor Harry Ree argues and defends the view that tomorrow's world demands a huge extension in education beyond the classroom and beyond the school. The model for this already exists in those areas where the idea of community education has been taken up. The rapid expansion of community education is 'the next great reform we need before we enter the 21st century'.

Twenty Bibles on the head of a pin? That's not a big problem for the British scientists and engineers who are inventing the next generation of microchips we shall be using in a few years.

"Horizon"'s cameras have been looking into the future with pioneers of the new microtechnology, into a new world of the ultrasmall where electrons travel in convoy like London buses, but at close to the speed of light, where thousands of transistors can comfortably fit on the thickness of a human hair, where crystals grow atom by atom in the purest vacuum and where electronic devices made of living material are a dream on the edge of turning into reality.

It's a world that engineers can make, but which scientists have only just started to map, a step into the unknown that will shape Britain's future - if we still want one.
