In order to meet the needs of 21st century education, many schools are embracing the concept of System Redesign. This programme looks at this emerging trend and discusses whether it is the responsibility of the school or the government to bring about educational reform.
System Redesign breaks down the concept of school into its most basic building blocks. It then analyses everything from curriculum to student leadership and decides whether it is relevant for learning in the future.
The programme looks at how several learning establishments have all transformed some of their most fundamental elements under the guise of modernising.
Professor David Hargreaves argues that innovation in schools is alive and well, and in order for the education system to change, innovation must be led by schools - not central government.
