Tales Out of School

Originally published in 1983, reissued here with a new preface, Tales Out of School presents the experience of seventy young people from different parts of the country, most of whom left school at sixteen and are now either in work, unemployed or in the twilight world of the Youth Opportunities Programme.

Review for the original edition:

‘ Tales Out of School will, I hope be read by those forming or influencing policy affecting young people; the opinions expressed within it are worth more than a moment’s consideration.’ – British Educational Research Journal
