Conversations with the Minister

By David Winkley

'Conversations with the Minister' is a satirical meditation on the state of education in England, based on a series of discussions between a bright, philosophically disposed Rosie Gracechurch, and a clever, if uncompromising, Secretary of State for Education. Current political thinking is ruthlessly explored, with the exchanges between Rosie and the Minister becoming increasingly unsettling and combative as they transact a ferocious battle of ideas. the encounters take place in all manner of venues and are as comic as they are challenging, covering a wide range of issues, including regulation, school inspection, discipline, are, literature, philosophy and politics, This is a book-of-the-moment aiming to amuse, provoke, inform and entertain those concerned about the deeply conflicted current state of education in the UK, the USA and beyond.
