Britain is currently holding a major parliamentary inquiry into education:

• The Education Committee • Scope of the inquiry …

• – What the purpose of education for children of all ages in England should be
• – What measures should be used to evaluate the quality of education against this purpose
• – How well the current education system performs against these measures

The parliamentary website has a lot more information:

Surely the results of the inquiry will be worth considering … ?
