Episode Synopsis "An audience with Professor Tim Brighouse. "Education without failure: is it an impossible dream?""

Professor Tim Brighouse poses this question as the basis for a paper he's developing which was shared to an invited audience of school and local authority leaders at the London BETT08 show early in January. Tim begins the conversation by summarising his thoughts and views on what constitutes 'failure' and what do we mean by this in an educational context. He then offers up a set of out-of-school, in-school and systemic changes that need to happen in order to eliminate 'failure' in our education system. After this introduction, he let the debate begin!
