Selection
Recent political developments have pushed selection to the forefront of the education debate.
In this programme, we investigate what kind of selection is taking place within the current British education system and why the issue of admissions continues to be the source of so much controversy and debate.
We hear from key figures, such as former education secretary Estelle Morris, schools minister Jim Knight MP, and chief adjudicator for schools Dr Philip Hunter.
Is selection an inherent part of British education culture and can it ever be ended?

School Matters - Selection30 October 2006 - 15:25I think this is a really good and insightful introduction to the debate, especially for all those who have not had to think about these issues before. I believe that it would be good to show the video to governing bodies to start a debate about how they go about selecting the pupils that go their schools, especially where choice is an option.
