There's a different way to educate our young people, and Dr Ian Cunningham shows us what that is. Ian is a professor, author, and educator who founded the Self Managed Learning College in Brighton. His work spans many years and the College is a demonstration of how children can find their own path in their learning without the pressure of standardised tests or a set curriculum to motivate them. In this interview, Ian goes into detail about how the College came to be, how it runs each day, and his view of a beautiful educational future.
