Omschrijving

Originally published in 1980, Absent with Cause, reissued here with a new preface, looks at the Bayswater Centre, which provided full-time education for young people who had stopped attending comprehensive schools, and for whom the alternative may well have been home tuition or residential provision in community homes or assessment centres. By describing what actually happened in a documented year with a whole intake of youngsters, the intention was to probe beneath the label of 'failure' to show that a meaningful full-time educational programme could be offered and accepted despite disastrous home backgrounds or a history of complete disenchantment with school. By pointing to the success of an ethos that redefined the three most important educational objectives as Responsibility, Articulation and Relevance, and which actually offered young people a real opportunity to participate in determining their own educational programme, and by reference to other units and schools working along similar lines, the intention was to discuss the implications for state provision. Today it can be read in its historical context.

This book is a re-issue originally published in 1980. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
