Values and purpose of education and skills
One of the points I have noted from reading about educational theory, is that any model or ideology which is Instrumentalist or even Classical Humanist, which views education as a process for creating a workforce or suggests that knowledge is absolute and has a validity independent of moral or ethical considerations, is inherently undemocratic (e.g. The National Curriculum).

Losing Shepway's Heritage, one lift at a time
The agenda of Shepway Council's cabinet meeting on 18th March is now available online - but possibly the most controversial part of it is to remain secret. Item 16 on the agenda (available at http://www.shepway.gov.uk/webapp/service/query/cads/doc/cabinet/Agendas/acabt20090318.doc?download=download) lists the item as "Leas Lift Lease Termination". Apparently its supporting report (C/08/106) sets out the background of the Leas Lift lease and the proposals for its termination - but members of the public, are not allowed to see that report, or even listen to the debate at the meeting if they wish.
