The Decline of Education Standards and the Revolution Against Knowledge

Are we truly nurturing Britain's bright young minds, or are we letting them slip through the cracks of an outdated education system? We sat down with the formidable Peter Hitchens, whose insights into the role of grammar schools and academic selection are as sharp as they are provocative. Together, we traverse the shifting landscape of the UK's educational standards, where Peter champions grammar schools as essential for social mobility and intellectual development, particularly for the working class. He recounts his own educational path with refreshing honesty, revealing the gaps in his learning journey and challenging the intellectual decline he perceives in today's society.
