Big Brother and Equality through Education
05:24  - 2 years ago
In response to the “ignorance and bigotry” shown in the Big Brother reality television programme, January 2007, British education secretary Alan Johnson has said that schools must take a lead in teaching core British values. "We want the world to be talking about the respect and understanding we give all cultures, not the ignorance and bigotry shown on our TV screens," he said. Educational Psychologist Alan Davies, author of the internationally acclaimed synthetic phonics programme THRASS, believes that British schools are already doing much to teach respect and understanding. This is the 19 January interview with Lucinda Meyer, a lecturer of Indian origin from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, at the end of her two-week visit to a British school - Oxley Park Primary School, Milton Keynes, England.
