Is the UK's education system in need of dire reform?

The IEA's Academic and Research Director Professor Syed Kamall is joined by IEA Head of Education Dr Stephen Davies and Professor James Tooley, the newly appointed Vice Chancellor of the University of Buckingham.

Together they discuss recent attempts at education reform, low cost private schooling - both in the UK and abroad - and ask what more can be done to improve standards.

In 1998 the IEA published James Tooley's book 'Education Without the State' which is available here.
