Sommario/riassunto |
|
A volume which argues that, in order to give children the positive, successful and enthusiastic start in life that is necessary as a basis for the ideal of ""lifelong learning"", schools must be prepared to engage the community actively, while undertaking radical self-appraisal and renewal. |
