Description
Secondary school teacher and education consultant Lucy Crehan was frustrated with ever-changing government policies on education ; dissatisfied with a system that prioritised test scores over the promotion of creative thinking; and disheartened that the interests of children had become irrelevant. Curious to discover how countries such as Finland, Canada, Japan, China and Singapore consistently manage to top global education surveys, Lucy set off on a journey around the globe to see these schools and students for herself. 'Cleverlands' is the story of her journey.
