Bad Education is a collection of Phil Beadle's columns from The Guardian's Education section and is a laugh-a-minute romp through more or less every aspect of British education over the last decade, which makes the occasional, entirely accidental, serious point.

Media Reviews

These well-written, extremely readable articles challenge both orthodoxies and cant. This is a book to be read, dipped into, and returned to again and again, but above all, a book to be read by all who have the interests of young people and their teachers at heart. -- John Dunford chair, Whole Education, chair, WorldWide Volunteering, chair, Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors

Author's Bio

Phil Beadle knows a bit about bringing creative projects to fruit. His self-described 'renaissance dilettantism' is best summed up by Mojo magazine's description of him as a 'burnished voice soul man and left wing educationalist'. He is the author of ten books on a variety of subjects, including the acclaimed Dancing About Architecture, described in Brain Pickings as 'a strong, pointed conceptual vision for the nature and origin of creativity'. As songwriter Philip Kane, his work has been described in Uncut magazine as having 'novelistic range and ambition' and in Mojo as having a 'rare ability to find romance in the dirt' along with 'bleakly literate lyricism'. He has won national awards for both teaching and broadcasting, was a columnist for the Guardian newspaper for nine years and has written for every broadsheet newspaper in the UK, as well as the Sydney Morning Herald. Phil is also one of the most experienced, gifted and funniest public speakers in the UK.
