If students designed their own schools... The future of schooling: we need a radical new education manifesto. At a seminar in Westminster last week, Mick Waters called for a radical rethink of schooling.

The future of schooling: we need a radical new education manifesto

Here is the transcript of his talk. We need a radical new education manifesto. The schooling system as it stands - distorted by whim, high stakes accountability and low trust - is no longer fit for purpose. We need fresh thinking. We cannot carry on with short term, politically-driven tinkering with an old-fashioned system. Instead, we need a forward-looking, redefined purpose for schooling where the people involved take appropriate responsibility to create a system which is carefully managed, research and practice-driven, parent and media-supported, and focused upon long-term aims, regardless of changes of government. The status quo cannot continue: we need an education spring - an uprising of passion and commitment to the role of schooling in the education of our young. A consensus needs to be built around the purpose of schooling and how it fits within the overall education of pupils.

Tankesmedjan - Aktuellt

Faktum är att det finns en gigantisk infrastruktur som baseras på att kapital flyttas till små, till synes menlösa länder, bort ifrån de nationer som genererat kapitalet – i syfte att undvika skatt. Denna typ av kapitalflykt används av de allra flesta storföretag – inte minst inom den finansiella industrin. Författaren Nicholas Shaxson menar i sin bok Treasure Islands - Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World att uppemot 50 procent av all handel i världen passerar genom länder som kan betecknas som skatteparadis.

Dessa länder kännetecknas av politisk stabilitet, högt välstånd, en lagstiftning som tillåter ekonomiska transaktioner under stor sekretess, samt extremt låga skatter. Genom att registreras i dessa skatteparadis kan företag göra stora vinster, men undviker att betala skatt i sina hemländer. Samhällsentreprenör - distans 2012/2013 - sök nu!
