In this episode of The Educational DilEmma, the first of the second series, Emma and guests discuss what it means to be a free thinker. Why is free thinking an important skill to nurture and what are the benefits of free thinking? We delve into how schools and parents can encourage this skill, and whether or not ‘thinking’ can be taught.
