Description

"Education, education, education" has become an obsession for politicians and the public alike.

It is seen as an economic panacea: an engine for growth and prosperity.

But is there a link between increased spending on higher eductaion and economicgrowth?

Professor Alison Wolf takes a critical look at successive governments' education policy and challenges many of the tenets of received wisdom: there are no economic reasons for spending more on higher education in order to stimulate growth.

The conclusion of this devastating book is that a large proportion of the billions poured into vocational training and university provision might be better spent on teaching the basics at primary school.
