This short volume is exactly as the title suggests – a series of prominent opinion pieces by those involved in education. The 15 essays cover a wide range of topics but for a classroom practitioner only a minority will be useful. They are divided into three sections: Policy, Classroom and Subject.

Ian Horsewell reviews Debates in science education considering how it could be used in regard to teacher training and professional development.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
