Abstract
This article reprints the introduction (minus the final paragraph) to FORUM’s latest ebook: ‘Renewing public education: proposals for an inclusive, democratic and joyful system’. Peter Moss diagnoses the malaise which has long afflicted English public education, tracing the source of the distemper to the effects of the Global Education Reform Movement and offering hope of a cure. By recalling to mind and practice the exiled ‘progressive’ tradition in education and the alternative perspectives and approaches it offers, he shows how we can begin to write a better, more democratic, story for public education in England.
