How to fix Britain? Start taking education seriously, and view it as a life-transforming public good. Stop seeing it, as all governments have done, as a transactional, exam-focused activity and preparation for a world of work that no longer exists.
Education should not be valued just as a means to an end. It is intrinsically valuable in itself. It is the path to liberating people of all backgrounds and abilities to living fulfilling and meaningful lives.
