Eight programmes for teachers and parents on the changing scene in secondary schools
Introduced by Dr. F. Hilliard

The Newsom Report on the education of the average and less than average ability was published in 1963. It revealed that for most teenagers who were leaving school at fifteen the greater part of their school work was irrelevant and boring. What was the educational value of teaching a watered-down G.C.E. Geography course to a boy who was soon to take a well-paid job in a local factory, but who had rarely travelled outside his own town? What was the relevance of trying to teach biblical knowledge to a fifteen-year-old girl whose main concern was her relationship with her boy-friend, and whose main aims for the future were in early marriage and in setting up her own home?

Four head teachers tonight explain how they have gone about devising new schemes of work for the early leavers, to break down the barriers between the world of school and the world of work. They have a problem. If this 'outward going' teaching is educationally desirable for the fifteen-year-old leavers, is it then educationally valid for the rest of our children?
