Wot Education?

Education is one topic that everyone has opinions about, the broadsheets are often filled with heatedly debates on the benefits of selection, corporal punishment and streaming.

Those debates go on in every country and are as subjective as you might expect them to be, everyone tends to feel that their opinion is as valid as everyone else is.

But who’s right? The BBC World Service has come to the rescue, a recent programme, Top of The Class, discusses worldwide educational concerns and asks what lessons can be learnt from the different techniques employed across the globe.
