Battling for the Soul of Education Cover

"Battling for the Soul of Education is a clarion call to debate and to action. We are making the business of the education of our young more complicated than it needs to be.
I urge you to read it."

Tony Little, Head Master, Eton College
"To make change requires courage – Battling for the Soul of Education provides the ingredients that can form the foundational conviction required for such courage."

Jeff Hopkins, Founder, Pacific School of Innovation & Inquiry
"Battling for the Soul of Education...urges us
to consider the whole issue...rather than focusing in on one or more of the small dots
and missing the point. John Abbott is the
ideal person to "join the dots". He has both
a great mind and a great heart."

Pete Mountstephen, Chair of National Primary Headteachers
